Mechanical Stenosis
Has anyone been told their problems are mechanical? Or is anyone familiar with the concept of mechanical stenosis? Surprisingly, I’ve not heard it mentioned on the forum before.
See here a presentation I found from Boachie where he mentions mechanical stenosis http://www.hss.edu/professional-cond...l-stenosis.asp
I have shared my story before. I have symptoms of stenosis (problems standing and walking distances), but no significant stenosis. My MRI showed stenosis, but then I had a CT Myelogram, which was not dynamic (which could be the problem) and it showed no significant stenosis.
I am considering surgery, but am not ready yet, but am confused by the lack of significant stenosis.
• Errico did say that I have severe degenerative scoliosis and facet arthopathy at L2-3.
• Lonner believes my symptoms are mechanical.
Here are my scoliosis X-rays, which I’ve never attached before. I know my curve is small (somewhere between 55 and 68) compared to this group.
Thanks for your thoughts.
