Stenosis

[mmglobal]

For most of my bad lumbar time, I was 100% low back pain, 0% leg pain. By the time I had my surgery, I had spent many months 50/50. It was not that the back pain got better... I developed severe foot pain associated with the disc collapse at L5-S1 following my 2nd discectomy.

I went for my surgery hoping for relief from my LBP, expecting NO RELIEF for my leg pain. I was pleasantly suprised to get 95% relief of my leg pain with my ADR surgery, presumably from the increased disc height opening the foraminal space. I've never been able to stop the NSAIDS because of the remnant foot pain. That foot pain has gotten a little worse over the last year. I don't know if it's from my neck or lumbar spine. I know that neck problems can turn up the volume on lumbar issues.
