What Kind Of Test Should I Undergo To Determine Stenosis?
I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and underwent a thoracic decompressive laminectomy on T8, T9 and T10. Its almost my 5th month of post surgery and my legs specially the right one are swollen for more or less than two months already on and off. I thought it was just Tylenol and my personal md said no it maybe its the stenosis and I also asked my PM md about it and he said that it might be the stenosis or the Neurontin. I been taking the Neurontin even after the surgery and my legs never swells up like that. And I really thought its the Tylenol cause it all started when I took it but both md said no its not. What kind of test should I undergo to determine if it is the stenosis. Thank you.
