I have been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication and neural foraminal stenosis. I will see a neurosurgeon in a couple of weeks. I thought I would see if anyone here has had a similar diagnosis, and how it was treated? A little over a year ago I had R L-4, L-5-S1 laminotomy and foraminotomy. I believe this time my problems are lower. My back pain is not sever, but always present. What bothers me most is the constant 24/7 pins and needles, tingling, numb feeling in my feet and ankles...sometimes in the groin area. Could my current issues be an extension of the former?
