used a neurosurgeon for spinal stenosis L345 and walked 4 miles 4 days after procedure. 100% recovered 4 weeks.
7 orthopedic surgeons all required full lamenectomy, rods and 6 screws; 6-12 month recover and likely revisions. No one tells you these things I was luck and just kept seeking surgeons until I got what I wanted, no fusion or rods and screws 79 years has taught me to trust but verify everything you hear.
This is for the guy suffering spinal stenosis. I will be sling in colorado in 2 months9 months after the procedure. Immediately got back to exersizing with no limitations.
