I was diagnosed when I was a teen. My Dad was recently diagnosed. It is hereditary. They told my Dad if it gets bad that can operate & opened up the vertebrae put a dowel to give the spine more room. They told me years ago that I would have to live with it & would end up in a wheelchair. I recently learned the reason I have a tendency to drop things & trip and sometimes fall is due to my spinal stenosis. I say trust in the Doctor you have faith in… I have found out through the years each Doctor will tell you something different.
