Maggie , my husband has spinal stenosis too; it meant he could no longer work and had to retire early. When we went to China , however, a friend took him to the Chinese medicine hospital and arranged for some acupuncture treatment. It took a few weeks but it really helped with the pain and made him a lot more mobile. Just a suggestion!

Coop has our sympathy and prayers for some relief from this.. we know how it feels!
