Hello Joan 🙂
I also suffer with spinal stenosis. Over the years I’ve tried a chiropractor, oral meds, steroid injections, “RFA” (Radio Frequency Ablation), a few other types of injections as well, and I just continue to become more & more crippled. Yes, most of the injections in the past gave me relief, some gave me a years relief but in time the shot that gave me a years relief now only gives me 2-4 weeks of relief. I did have a Spinal pain Neurostimulator installed in my lower right hip. It definitely works wonders in my lower back but now my pain doctor plans to put Interspinous spacers in my spinal canal. This new approach is supposed to work wonders w/spinal stenosis. These spacers gently open the spinal canal, creating room and reduce pressure on crowded nerves. From what I’ve read and heard from others is that this is a wonderful option and I will be having this surgery hopefully before “2023”.
