I've been dealing with canal stenosis for about 18 months now, and my MRI shows an AP dimension of 6.1 mm. My doctor recommended surgery, but I've heard mixed opinions some say to avoid it. Right now, I'm trying homeopathic meds and acupressure. Is surgery really the best option for me? What would you suggest?
With an AP dimension of 6.1 mm in your MRI, and given your history of canal stenosis over 18 months, your doctor's recommendation for surgery is understandable, but it's important to explore all options. While surgical intervention might be necessary, it's also crucial to consider non-surgical treatments and understand the potential risks and benefits of surgery
