Well, I'd sure want to know what he's going to do about the spinal cord being impinged. That can affect everything if it gets too bad -- in fact, you could end up in a wheelchair if it isn't corrected at some point -- depending on the severity of it and if it gets worse.

Bone spurs can become problematic too if they're pushing on nerves -- that could be a source of your pain, plus the stenosis could too -- that is narrowing of the spinal canal.

I'd just want to know the plan of action --- I would NOT want to jump into surgery tho. You would want to get at LEAST 2 other opinions if he suggests surgery cause once you've had surgery you're never the same again. Surgery only corrects mechanical problems -- it doesn't necessarily relieve pain. Many times you're left with the same pain or worse after surgery.

I hope he explains things thoroughly for you. Let us know what he has to say, ok? God bless. Hugs, Lee
