Thank you for the quick response! I have been sent to numerous doctors, none of which dealt with the back pain, they thought it was a pelvic/bladder problem. I finally convinced them to do an MRI which showed the stenosis in the lumbar spine. They also found that I have spondylosis, so the disks throughout the lumbar region are bulging and the vertebrae are growing osteophytes. The L5 has already fused with the SI. No one has recommended physical therapy yet, which I find strange. The doctors just keep throwing narcotics at me for pain. I will check out the links you sent. I will hopefully be getting referred to a surgeon this week. Thank you so much for the advice!
