Hi smyles, I too am learning far too much about spinal stenosis. When I was first told, and had those "nerve burning needles" described to me, I trundled my little walker self right out of the building. I have sense spoken with people who tell me that their nerves grow back, and they have to have the procedure 2 or 4 times a year! omg, i don't know how they do it, but they say the pain is so bad otherwise that it's worth it.

I hope you never reach that point. I hope you find relief in Physical Therapy or chiropractic, if they will treat you... I find swimming to be very helpful too.

Best Wishes
