A member asked:

Do i need to see a surgeon if the mri results is spondylosis and underlying congenital canal narrowing. mild to moderate canal stenosis l3/4 and l 2/3 persistent asymmetric left=sided facet hypertrophy at l2/3 with left lateral recess narrowing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common as we age, to develop wear and tear changes in the lumbosacral spine. Surgical indications might include progressive neurogenic claudication when ambulating, a compressed nerve root associated with accelerating weakness and atrophy, urination problems especially difficulty passing urine, and unrelenting and disabling pain. See a spinal surgeon and see if this is your "cup of tea".
