What Is The Prognosis Of Having Two Spinal Canal Stenosis And Severe Facet Arthritis Considering Currently Being Very Active?

I have two spinal can stenosis at the L4 L5 , severe facet arthritis and one disc is now sitting on a nerve. I am allergic to aspirin and NSAIDs and use Tynalol extra strength. I am 63, swim 2 km a day, participate in Tai Chi and am considering Nordic Pole walking. I was a teacher and now am on LTD. I am just wondering about this in the long term.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have stenosis, atL4,L5and severe fact arthritis, and the disc is pressing on the nerve.
You are aged 63, and swim 2 Km, a day, participate, in Yai Chi, and considering Nordic pole walk. Your health and the ambition to do some thing made you to do all these.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to make you run for ever.
Avoid taking potato,other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods to avoid as far as possible, when there is any type of pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
