Gil,
I have leg pain that was present before the ADR surgery and the same after surgery. I also had a decompression to help but it only relieved it a little. I do wonder is necks add more lumbar pain since I also have a problem there also. It is so hard to know if the ADR will help the stenosis by giving the foramina more room. Most doctors want to concentrate on one area at a time and having had surgery I can't imagine having two areas operated on at one?
