Ive had 3 corticosteriod epidurals of which the last one did nothing for me. I have found that Aderall will almost completely take all the pain away. It is not intended for that but i am in so much pain all time that i couldnt do anything at all. Now i feel human again and can play with my kids 9 and 11 months old. Your doctor will probably not want to prescribe it but i would recomend pushing for it until you can have surgery or find someother way to fix it.

That was in L-4..Now the stenosis is back in L-5/6..I will have surgery again on Monday, the 26. I did very well after the 1st surgery and am trusting this surgery will work as well. The surgery took care of the pain I felt in legs and back. Here we go again and I am trusting this time to turn out as well as the 2000 surgery did...

It helped with the pain which was so bad he was doubled over, his age 32 yrs old??? He had an accident at work 2 yrs ago and was immediately taken to the hospital, but no follow up work with any Specialist was offered, until he could no longer go to work or do much else. The operation where the implanted a titanium disc offered relief for about 3 to 4 months, but since then it has become increasingly difficult again to get around. He is also back to a life of terrible pain. Think quite a lot before you have this operation. Over here in Canada they go in through the front to get to the spine, I dont know why? but it has left him with a very long fierce looking scar. That would not be a concern if the operation and the disc implant would have worked but it didnt, I am afraid. My heart grieves for my dear son every day, especially since he has a wife who is working 2 jobs, and two young children to take care of.....Dorothy To John McClendon : My Son, Christopher, has had this operation done.

To whoever wrote the comment, the one with Parkinsons Disease, I could not help see through all the pain to a lingering sense of Humour and I wish I could cultivate that in my own situation. It is wonderful to read about a person who is in so much pain and yet has held on to their sense of humour. There are far too many of us who suffer from crippling diseases who either withdraw or are very outspoken about their pain to the point where people "turn them off." Your seem very grateful for the time you were able to get around with your legs without too much difficulty. So am I. I am so grateful NOW, but I wish I had taken better care of myself in my younger days. I am 63. The pain is sort of an extension of myself these days, it never goes away and I need a walker to lean on to get around. I never thought I would need something like that until I was, perhaps, in my 70's as I still feel pretty young inside! Your log cabin sounds wonderful, but I am not sure I like your ending, or maybe, hopefully, I misunderstood it. with love, Dorothy This reply is to Robert Tucker.

I suffer from similar symptoms and have an appointment with a neuro-surgeon this week having been referred by an orthopaedic surgeon. I am lookig forward to read Nissa's up to date comments on her grandmother's (hopefully) recovery. Read Nissa’s report on her grandmother’s plans to consult a neuro-surgeon most interesting.

I finally started epidural injections last January 2009. It helped for a little while. I had another injection in July 2009. It helped for awhile. In October 2009, I had a transforaminal nerve block. It really helped but here it is January 2010 and the pains have come back. Not as severe where I can't tolerate it but I am wondering how many of these you can have (and insurance pay for it) before you have to give up and have surgery. I am probably going to call my doctor and schedule another nerve block shot within a month. I have spinal stenosis for several years. I finally started epidural injections last January 2009.
