I have Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Osteoarthritis. Injections were not effective and surgery was not an option according to my orthopedic doctor. I've been able to vastly improve my condition with Ashtanga Yoga, which includes eight areas of focus consisting of controls for the body and mind. In the course of my practice I've also adopted an Indian Vegetarian diet and prepare all my own meals at home with natural ingredients. As I near my 69th birthday, I'm in better physical and mental shape than I've ever been in my life with the ability to pursue and active lifestyle. All the best in successfully managing your condition.

@turboc6 Good for you! With spine conditions, proper body alignment and good posture is even more important. Dietary changes reduce inflammation and all of that helps improve health, not just for your spine, but the whole body. It is great that you are staying active. I think that is the key to aging well. Thanks for setting a good example.
