Unfortunately, you will have to live with some pain from now on. Surgery can eliminate the numbness and perhaps keep you out of a wheelchair.

Most GOOD Drs. will tell you surgery is the last option. Sometimes for stenoios they go in from the front, around your belly button. They have a lot of organs to move around, then put back in place.

Being a Chiefs fan I understand that chronic pain will be no big step for you. Remember, just wait till next year.
While badgirl isn't a Chiefs fan, I am. 3-4-5 is what I would need done. My doctor said I still had mobility and control of my leg, and that my bladder wasn't affected. Along with my age, that's why he suggested putting off surgery. I'm not old! (
