I had a cervical spine fusion (2-level) done at Mayo Clinic Rochester in April, 2019. I also have severe stenosis in my lumbar spine. In January of 2023, I saw my surgeon’s PA who ordered MRIs and other tests. I also have been diagnosed with spinal epidural lipomatosis and told to lose weight and I have managed to lose ten pounds. What really helped with the pain was a foraminal steroid injection and a course of physical therapy.
