A member asked:
After conservative tx (rx nsaids, pt, epidurals) for spinal stenosis what would be the next step?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Go conservative: Most patients with spinal stenosis respond well to non-surgical treatments such as medications.

Surgical Opinions: If you feel conservative attempts have been exhausted as you have listed, it's time to get two surgical consults. You need these specialists to review your MRI, past treatments and current symptoms. Getting two opinions from two separate neurosurgeons will give you the best advice. I wish you well.
