For years I had terrible lower back issues. I tried P.T. but it made things worse. So I did chiropractic which seemed to help. A handful of years ago (shortly after moving here) I heard about Dr. Daniel Spurrier, a neurosurgeon. He does surgery but only as a last resort!!! I did have a ruptured disc so he did his non-evasive surgery. I'm only telling you this "IF" you feel you need another opinion. He will recommend P.T., exercises etc. before surgery is warranted. He's an excellent doctor and has very good credentials.
I too have spinal stenosis so I pay attention to it. I do aquatic exercises which seems to be a good benefit. It's easy on the body BUT is very good resistance exercise!!
