CharJ, asked:
Has anyone heard of a spinal procedure called an X Stop procedure or had one done??? It’s for spinal stenosis and I’m thinking about seeing my doctor about it.
Hey Brenda. I like your avatar too..hehe. Please go to the link below and you can see what the FDA says about this procedure. Sounds good to me. Thanks much.

Hey, like your aviator.lol
I am a nurse, but have not heard of this.
I will let you know, any lower back surgery should be avoided. Everyone has difficulty afterward, especially if a fusion is to be done.
If the procedure is to merely make more room for the spinal cord, not putting rods or screws in, you should be fine.
Ask nurses in your area about what doctors THEY would use for this surgery.They see patients after surgery, and can tell which doctor is best.
good luck

Nope, have never heard of this. I have heard of a spinal tap though, where they draw fluid from the bottom of the spine.
