Gerry: I don't think it was really advice, just a report on my experience, but if it helped I'm glad. I'm told that the steroid shots work wonders with some people but not everyone and not forever. It seems that spinal stenosis is pretty common among older people, particularly cigarette smokers.I was a heavy smoker for years, gave it up long ago but not, apparently, until after the damage was done. I get long pretty well now with generous doses of vicodin and a cane. -- Fran
