Hi i had a MRI and the impression says: degenerative changes with bulging annulus & broad-based disc-spur complex @ L5-S1 causing mild central stenosis and moderate foraminal narrowing bilaterally. These impression were taken in May 2012.since then i ve had Si joint injection ( no relief ) A double injection on each side of spine , Lumbar Facet ( no relief ). on nov 5 a Lumbar Epidural Injection. After 5-6 days back to severe lower back PAIN. stay on ENDOCET for pain w/ heating pad . I think i m getting worst. Can t stand up for a long period, or sit on anything hard. without pain. Sch tomorrow for another epidural. still in SEVERE PAIN.
See you have symptoms of canal stenosis i.e. as you can't stand for long. You also have symptoms due to foraminal narrowing in form of pain. You should show your self to neurosurgeon he would fan a surgery to OPEX the canal and neural foramina then you will be relieved of symptoms, but it will take time.
