G'day. An Aussie here as you may be able to tell, but I saw your post and wanted to say Hi, and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I also do not think you're a cry baby and as you now know, guests do come onto the site trying to obtain advice as well, so I'm sorry that you felt neglected.

Any disease of the spinal canal can be painful and that includes foraminal narrowing as shown on your MRI. Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about the condition, but I do know that much.

I sympathise with you Botoodle, and hope you get the answers that you are seeking before too much longer.
