Pauline from West Virginia developed some new sciatica long after a complex scoliosis correction.
I found that there was some new foraminal stenosis with some bone ingrowth into the L5 neural foramen that I found on a CT myelogram.
I took her back for surgery and did a revision foraminotomy, and she has done just great after surgery. She brought plenty of sweets from West Virginia to share with the whole Hey Clinic staff!
So glad you are feeling better, Pauline!
