Severe Stenosis - Doc advises surgery
Spine Health | Last Active: Jan 23 10:05pm | Replies (64)Comment receiving replies
I am an active(or used to be) 89 year old. This spinal stenosis seemed to come on suddenly. It has been diagnosed as severe.
Doing acupuncture and PT. Acupuncture seems to be somewhat helpful.
Want to go to Europe this summer to celebrate my husband’s and my 90 with the family. So I am looking for a quick fix.

Sorry, there are no "quick fixes" with stenosis. However, Medicare will pay for 12 acupuncture treatments for lower back pain and 12 for bladder control. Acupuncture has been around for over 5,000 years and it is effective, rather than any "drug". My best wishes to you. I too need to visit my late husband's family in Italy, however, the risks are too great that I could injure myself traveling (too many variables). So I will just write them in italien with the help of Google translate. My best to you!
