hi i recently had an xray thT revealed i have Significant lumbarization of my S1 qnd narrowing disc space. I am scheduled with a spine specialist to get more info but that isn't for a month. Ive been searching everywhere and havent found anyone talking about their own personal experience with these conditions. I was wondering if anyone experiencing either lumbarization or narrowing disc space would be willing to talk about their journey and what theyre doing to treat it?

As for spinal stenosis, I’m way to young to not stand up straight as if age should be a factor🤷🏻♀️.. I find it so difficult to stand up properly without the urge to bend slightly to ease the pressure I get in the upper middle part of my back. They call it shopping cart syndrome. I can walk all day if I had one.. I used to walk regularity but it’s a struggle because my spine is narrowing

What is your approach to reduce negative impact of foraminostenosis? I have pain in both legs and butt muscles, can’t run properly and my feet might get less sensitive. The issue is on L4/L5 and L5/S1. I was told to excersise which I started. But what else can be done?

anyone else have spinal stenosis and actually understand what it is? I've known about the diagnosis for most of the year, but haven't fully understood it I guess. over the weekend I was in the hospital and a doctor asked me about it and how I was literally walking around because it is that bad. I guess I need to know more about it.

Has anyone tried nerve blocks for stenosis? Either as a diagnostic to test whether it’s the source of pain or to treat it directly?

I have bilateral cervical stenosis C5-C8, with disc bulges in C6-C7. I had my first epidural injection 8 days ago and it has not worked. I've been told I need a second injection. I have completely lost my appetite. I was wondering if that was common???

Lumbar stenosis here… Pending L2/L3 fusion… How was mobility after surgery? Did you “handicap” your residence?
