Bernadine
I also was diagnosed with spinal stenosis with 4 buldging disc's (2 in neck and 2 in lumbar area) I was told by a specialist to wait on surgery..that is a last recourse. Instead he advised me to take a series of 3 shots in my spine at 2 to 3 weeks intervals. I did this and it has helped me conciderably. Surgery is not reliable and might not help anyway...it is also along recovery time. Please see another Doctor for an optinion and ask about the shots . I am 67 yrs. old and will not take the chances of surgery because of the fact it doesn't always make things better. I Want to remain mobile and not in a wheel chair..
