Epidural Lipomatosis
 

What is this? Also can moderate stenosis heal itself naturally or just go away?

Thanks to all

Epidural Lipomatosis refers to an excess of fat in the spinal canal that may put pressure on the spinal cord or exiting nerve roots. Google yields a ton of good results, including,

Regarding your second question, we hear many stories of people recovering without surgery. Moderate stenosis may be completely asymptomatic. Those of us with stenosis may have something pressing on a nerve causing some symptoms.... if it moves 1/2 a mm in one direction, our symptoms can go away. If it moves 1/2 mm in the other direction, our symptoms become severe.

Each case is unique. I'd want to be evaluated by surgeons who have the option to use the latest technology.
