A member asked:
I have severe bilateral foraminal stenosis. any chance it can make me disabled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Foraminal stenosis is a chronic condition that can be very painful and is often treated without surgery. Decompression with surgery can be helpful. It is not as disabling as severe canal stenosis.
