I have spinal stenosis don’t know what to do next. Had epidural but doesn’t help. Stomach giving me issues from ibprofen. Told to start lyrica. Afraid of side affects. Thinking of going to Arizona get opinion afraid of surgery. Drs not very helpful in Las Vegas. Any suggestions what to do next and help with the pain. Vera

I have spinal stenosis that’s severe at L4/L5 with crippling sciatica pain. My neurosurgeon agreed to a conservative approach and I began following the Gokhale Method primal posture approach which a Mayo neurologist called “the greatest contribution ever made to non-surgical back pain treatment.” Now I haven’t had a sciatica pain for a couple of years!
