I have been having some back issues for a long time and tomorrow I am having surgery to fix it. I have Stenosis in L1 thru L5 in my lower back. Tried steroid injections (worked for awhile, not now), PT and lost a bunch of weight (55+ pounds). They all helped, but now it's time to let the surgeon do his job. He says 3 to 6 weeks and I should be good to go. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
