Cellophane you for trusting ChatDoctorDear indications for spinal stenosis is 1. Your symptoms are interfering with your daily routine and negatively affecting your quality of life2. You have not experienced acceptable results from nonsurgical treatments after many weeks or months3. Your physician has clearly identified the source of your spinal stenosis and explained how it could be treated by surgery4. You are completely comfortable with the surgical plan, understand the potential risks and are otherwise in good physical health5. In rare, emergency instances, you experience severe symptoms like paralysis, loss of bowel or bladder function or sudden, severe numbness in the extremities. Dear if you won't undergone surgery then there is chance of migration of your symptoms with bladder and bowel dysfunction.Finally, lead paraplegia. Chances of recovery after surgery 80% and up to 60%patients symptoms are elevated. Still have questions please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care
