![]() So many issues... my problem is the big osteophytes. You can have flat discs with no osteophytes... You can have a small canal so the slightest hint of a stenotic condition can cause huge problems. Another person can have huge herniations and osteophytes, but with a plenty of room in the spinal canal... no big deal.
Symptoms caused by the flat disc... maybe foraminal stenosis related to the lowered disc height... may not be remotely addressed by a MISS procedure designed to reduce the size of a bulge. Mark
