When Checked Mileogram Have Stenosis From Neck To Lumbar Spine. Had A Fall & Did Lumber Fusion Surgery. Causes For The Condition?
Hi, I just got the results of a mileogram and was told I have stenosis. It is thru out my back, starting at my neck thru to my lumbar spine. I took a bad fall at work 6 months ago, could this have caused it? I have had lumber fusion surgery 13 years ago, but never had the symptoms I have now.
I will be seeing my surgeon again tomorrow but need to know what are the best questions to ask.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I need to have your detailed MRI report to give a good answer to your query. So, please upload the MRI report.
As of now, you need to ask your doctor the cause for stenosis from neck to back, and the options for treatment- surgical or otherwise. If he advises surgery, you need to discuss the risk and benefit of the surgery.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
