    <p><font size="+2">Hello, Ineko,</font></p>
    <p><font size="+2">Spinal stenosis is very common. I just had
        surgery opening up the trefoil canal from the top of the
        thoracic spine to the bottom of the lumbar spine, removing a
        disc or two, screwing two titanium rods to both ends of ten
        vertebrae. I can't say it was painless, but it is manageable. At
        81 I've had a good run. The surgery will likely allow me to
        avoid being paralyzed or having my peripheral neuropathy
        progress any further.</font></p>
    <p><font size="+2">It is important to keep your core muscles in
        shape. I've had some back pain for years, but exercise and
        acetaminophen have kept it in check until now. I probably
        wouldn't have even had the surgery at this point if it hadn't
        been for a nasty e-coli abscess on my spine that had to be
        removed by taking out some of the bone. I chose to move forward
        and have the laminectomy to avoid problems down the road.</font></p>
    <p><font size="+2">You are young yet. So you likely have a lot of
        time before the stenosis becomes much of a problem, if it ever
        does. While everyone is different, it sounds like you have a
        good medical team that will keep on top of it.</font></p>
    <p><font size="+2">Good luck to you.</font></p>

        Hi everyone

        <div>Question can everyone please keep me lifted up in prayers.
          I have some news to share with you that I just found out
          yesterday from the MRI they did back December 3. I had to wait
          until they had got a new doctor. The new doctor at BRANDON
          HEALTHPLEX.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>She read the MRI results to me and my sign language
          interpreter. And I just found out that I am in the early
          stages of spinal stenosis. Yesterday I cried and my doctor
          wanted to keep me for a little while until my nerves was
          coming up to leave. If you’re not sure what spinal stenosis is
          I will link it down below.<br>
          <br>
          I put some information down below for those who do not know
          what spinal stenosis is. You can read it at your own time if
          you would like to</div>
