Oh, COOP - Many many prayers that you heal soon! I want to meet you and Maggie for lunch in Calgary again one day!

He truly is a wonderful, wonderful man!

Maggie, is there any specific treatment for stenosis?

HUGS!

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that the specialist will be able to help him. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Coop's way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

[Pinot's Mom]

Maggie, is there any specific treatment for stenosis?

HUGS!

The treatment options at this point are not pleasant. It will probably involve surgery if they can't, once again, get things calmed down. I'm hoping there's some new therapy he can try; surgery is not something either of us think would be the best option.

Thanks everyone for the prayers - I'll report after the specialist tomorrow.

I am so sorry to hear you husband is in so much pain, please let his suffering ease and he be well again, my thoughts are with you both, HUGS and LOVE from down under.

I can so relate to your worry and concern. It's very hard to watch them be in so much pain and feel there is nothing that can be done short of surgery. My SO has the stenosis, plus other problems (5 bulging discs, 2 herniated discs, scoliosis, stenosis and osteoarthritis of spine). He's resisting the surgery angle for as long as he can.

A suggestion for your hubby.....if he can try acupuncture for the pain. It won't fix the problem, but for the pain - it makes it manageable. And it's really doesn't hurt. My SO has accupuncture every 4 weeks and it has helped him unmeasurably. He was very skeptical at first, but after watching our dachshund go through acupuncture and get better, Dick changed his tune. That was three years ago and he swears by it now to help manage the pain. Just the change in his outlook has made it worth it.

[Catty1]

Better news than expected, for sure! :-)

I hope Coop gets a gifted physiotherapist, who can really work wonders! That acupuncture sounds like it has worked for a few people, too.

HUGS!

I am so sorry to hear of your husband's back issues. I know how this can effect the whole family and bring much stress.
But from reading the other posts I also see that he is doing better and I too would like to add my best wishes for him and your entire family at this most difficult time.
