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.

I tried chiropractors, physical therapy, epidurals, vax-D tracktion machine, electronic acupressure/acupuncture. Epidurals helped for a short while. Had one treatment in NY with electronic/acupressure/acpuncture, while visiting there which seemed to aleviate problem. The discs that are affected are L3,4,5. the nerve seems to put pressure on my bottom, so I have a difficult time sitting, unless I sit on a gel icepack. My lower back hurts if I do any bending. I also thought of doing Laser Spine surgery, but don’t know of anyone that had it done. Please advise.
