Hello, thank you for your question! I agree with your doctor that pharmacological treatments are not very effective in relieving the pain associated with spinal stenosis. Physiotherapy is the first line of treatment; most group insurance plans cover this type of service I hope that I have been helpful to you and I am available to answer any questions you may have! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist Indeed, in this kind of situation we try to focus less on the "pain score" (how much pain you have from 0 to 10) and more on your level of functionality: are you, at a certain point, able to perform your daily activities, etc.
