Severe spinal stenosis: Would you do surgery?

Why do people have to suffer with extreme pain from spinal stenosis? If you have a damaged heart, there are remedies. If you have cancer, there is surgery and treatment.
Doctors can replace lungs, livers and kidneys. Knee replacement, hip replacement, but there is no fix for spinal stenosis. Most people have more pain after disc surgery.
More research is needed to
make the surgery less dangerous and have better results post surgery so the patient can have a better quality of life.

I am not sure what information you have. Three weeks ago I had surgery mainly for a lumbar lateral herniated disk. At same time surgery for severe spinal stenosis was also addressed. You have to do research to find the doctor you want. You can get in sooner with some doctors. I waited 5 months but worth it to me.
