Spinal Stenosis with only axial pain
Hello all:
I have a few patients like this.
Severe lumbar spinal stenosis. No claudication at all.
Failed RF.
Would you send someone like this for a decompression if they have failed an ESI?
Say the axial pain is definitely worse with walking versus if it is not, does that make a difference to you on this issue?
Any surgical literature out there regarding decompression outcomes in this patient population?
Thanks in advance.
