Mel-I'm not advocating for surgery for Alan; I have no idea when one operates and what they have to look like. I just know that spinal stenosis can cause pn. When it's really severe, it can cause cauda equina, which is potentially awful. Doesn't kill you, but isn't fun.

If his docs are following his spine, and knowing YOU, they're following closely, I"m sure all is just fine.

It's just good to be able to put things together. I had an "Aha!" moment, realizing that Alan has spine disease PLUS psoriasis, and that the two go together.
