So I see the neurosurgeon again today, and I saw my pain doc yesterday. Last shot didn't help like they had hoped and pain doc looked at CT scan from last week also. The MRI had shown moderate stenosis in L4/L5, the CT is showing severe.

With the MRI, they were hesitant about surgery, but after seeing the CT, pain doc tentatively scheduled surgery for Oct 5th. He just wants me to see the neurosurgeon today to make sure he is on board. Unless he is absolutely against it, we are going forward with the surgery.

This particular surgery is to putf in a Superion device. It's relatively new, but pain doc is hopeful that it will work. One inch incision, day surgery. Hopefully easy recovery.
