Looking for information on the recovery/results from correcting Spinal Stenosis and Decompression. I am very confident with my surgeon. Head of Orthopedics and specializing in backs - considered the best in the province (yes I'm Canadian). I had a Harrington procedure in '74 and have lead a relatively "normal" life for about 15 years. Degeneration was identified in early '90s but stayed relatively active til about 2 years ago. Now just going grocery shopping is tiring and painful. Dr. has advised that the only way to improve quality of life based on myleogram and CT is surgery. There are other issues which are currently being monitored (and additional surgery is inevitable). My Dr. agrees I'm too young (46) to spend my life vegging on the couch.
Has anyone been through surgery to correct this? If you have I'd appreciate and information you're willing to share.
