Research laminectomy surgery. It can be performed with minimal surgery and as an outpatient to remove the cause of stenosis. Eventually, the stenosis can damage the adjacent nerves if not corrected. I waited too long and now have to deal with numbness in both feet. There are specialists that perform laminectomy surgery.

Hi Tom, My imaging doesnt look as bad as my symptoms. I have an L 4-5 disc bulging that says minimal. My R foot has been numb for a year and a half. My L foot is starting as of a few days ago. Im in rough shape, Im numb around the waist and pelvic area with burning/numbness down the rest of leg. I hope its not too late. I havent had any injections yet and deciding between steroid or platelet rich plasma. Any feedback would be appreciated. Im 50.
