Re: Lumbar Spine Stenosis
Hello Precious . Can I be blunt ? You’re asking in here to see if anyone has the same problem ?
Pain after 30 minutes standing ?
Count yourself as a lucky man .
There a thousands of people in your state and worse,me included .
The pain in your leg is from a trapped nerve .
Your GP is being as helpful as possible .
You can pay to see a private orthopaedic consultant ,probably being told the same thing .
Some might risk operating on you ,I wouldn’t go for it . You could end up in a worse condition . This I know from having two friends unable to stand without support from two people after doing so .
A rubber hot water bottle could be your friend you know. It’s certainly mine . You can pooh pooh the idea but it relaxes the muscles and will do wonders for that pain in your leg .
Also there are gel like products ,Voltarol being one ,to rub on the lower back . Could be more helpful than taking oral meds .
Hope you don’t have to go out to work btw and find some relief soon .
