Severe Stenosis - Doc advises surgery

I’m so glad your surgery went well and I really thank you for sharing about your experience. My issues are due to a degenerative lumbar spine. It is my impression that surgery for the cervical spine is more predictable and has a more likely positive outcome.
I have two graduate degrees and my husband does research for the NIH so we’re good at gathering research and evaluating the quality of research but that still leaves me with many questions and very few answers.
Again, thank you for taking the time to respond to my posts.

@kdks99 There is also a book "Back in Control" written by a spine surgeon, David Hanscom MD, who became a spine surgery patient. It may give you some insights. Here is his website. He is retired now from practice, and he said that there are too many unnecessary back surgeries, so at least he represents that point of view. I found out about him because he presented at a spine surgery conference and I found that online. I bought his book and read it and thought it was excellent back when I was still looking for a spine surgeon.
