Would this be the same if you have bulging discs that are showing pressing on the nerves on the axial MRI view?

My recent MRI report says L 5 stenosis. I have just the opposite symptoms, than what you describe. After sitting for 1/2 hour or so, I can have terrible pain in the left leg/back. Walking doesn't seem to give me any pain. The pain goes away when I lay prone for 15 to 20 minutes, and I have almost no pain at night while sleeping. Thanks for your thoughts on prolotherapy. I will investigate it.

I am 61 yo and have central canal stenosis at L4 L5 due to spinal stenosis. I have bilateral sciatic positional pain just as you described, causing painful numbness in my right peroneal nerve region and right glute, and, at times, loss of proprioception. I had a spinal cord stimulator placed August 2020. The neuromodulation helps significantly. Previously, I could only walk/stand for about 5 minutes and then I would have to squat/ sit down to relieve them. Now I am able to walk an hour or more. However, the first 30 minutes of every walk I endure level 6-8 pain right sided symptoms which will subside to level 2-4 after 30 minutes and remain at a low level the remainder of the walk. Would proltherapy be of help to me?

I had an MRI done and some of my C units are showing stenosis in the results. Some are 6mm and others are 8mm.

I would go for arthroscopic removal of the defect part of the disk, thats the future 😁😁
Local anesthesia, 7mm incision, no complication, no blood lose. You get back your life!
Those ligaments and muscles you can do exercises since you will be pain free..

I wish I could see you. The doctors I've been to haven't been able to make connections with whats going on in my body. I have Cervical spinal stenosis with bone spur and disc out of place. I am having so many problems. You seem to know so much more.

Is this generally covered by insurance?

I'm a 23 year old male and based on a recent CT scan at the ER, my doctors suspect I might have moderate to severe spinal stenosis. I had sciatica start when I was 19, and as of this year it's become unbearable at times and makes it hard to complete daily tasks. Right now I'm waiting on an MRI follow up. My questions are:
1. What causes stenosis in someone as young as myself? I've always been an active healthy male.
2. If it does turn out to be stenosis, would less invasive options as these be worth exploring before jumping to surgery?
