Suggest Treatment For Spinal Stenosis And Lower Back Pain
I am a 77 yr. old male in reasonably good shape. I have had low back pain for about 7 years. Had an MRI on the low back, about that long ago. Mild facet disease, mild spinal stenosis, slight disc bulge. Not exactly word for word, but nothing big. Back hurts when I stand & move about. Hurts to walk, must stop to lean on something after 200 yards. The shopping cart for relief person, is me. The golf turn is painful. In bed or in a chair is relief for me.No pain there. Am I a candidate for Facet joint ablation?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the pain that you have may not be due to spinal changes but it more looks like muscular spasm and you can try any NSAID like Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, try to maintain the good posture no need to think about any procedure hope this information helps.
