Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain and the diagnosis of spinal stenosis. It is true that most cases of spinal stenosis are corrected via surgery. While pending the MRI, I will suggest that your doctor prescribes good pain medications to control your symptoms. If this pain doesn't prevent you so much from functioning well, I will recommend you delay surgery given your age.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
