Hi, bannisterkl. I realize I'm reaching out regarding an old post, but am wondering how severe your lumbar stenosis was that your doc thought all your pain was from that condition. I have severe lumbar stenosis but am convinced that there's something else going on in the glutes, possibly tendinitis such as you had. I've so far had an MRI of spine and pelvis; how did you know to insist on sacrum and coccyx, and what kind of doctor ordered those scans? Any advice would be appreciated.
