MRI results are back, and I have spinal stenosis. Scary sounding. Must do more research...

fairly tame

My mom has it. It's usually not too bad. Medscape Reference is a good source of information that isn't beholden to one pharma company or another.

Thank you!

Yikes! At least having a diagnosis hopefully means you can know what to expect? I hope it's not that bad and is totally treatable.

Thanks, bb. Hopefully it's treatable with conservative care (and not surgery).

Spinal issues aren't fun at all, but at least mine may be manageable in some ways, so yours may be too? Best of luck, baby. <3

I hope you can get the treatment that you need now ♥

I have no idea what that is but I'm hoping that having a diagnosis means you can get treatment!

From what I gather, it usually occurs in older people, and it's degenerative. I don't know yet what that means for me, though. Hopefully I can get in to see the spine doc soon.

Thank you, bb. <3

At least you have a diagnosis now and that's always a good thing. Bureaucrats like diagnosis :-) I hope you'll get the treatment you need to ease the symptoms. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you, bb. ♥
