Up til 4:30am with a bad stomach. Don't think this was the meds...I've had this happen before when I ate a lot fast and later than usual, with high fiber ingredients. Anyway, I feel better today but don't feel like eating.

"Most cases of bilateral foraminal stenosis initially are treated with a combination of medications, physical therapy and rest. Rest gives your body (particularly your nerves) time to heal, which keeps you from aggravating your injury."

"Usually exercises are not beneficial for spinal stenosis. It is very important to maintain good core strength with strong back and belly muscles, as well as flexibility of the legs and trunk. These will be beneficial in avoiding many of the causes of spinal stenosis in the first place, but once a person has stenosis, these usually cannot reverse the cause."

"Most people do not have surgery to correct spinal stenosis and their symptoms either resolve or they learn to live with them. However, without surgery, there is a risk of permanent nerve damage and possible paralysis."

Okay, time to stop reading shit on the Internet.
