Re: Round Two...
Nick,
My mom has spinal stenosis. Before it was correctly diagnosed, my mother was told by her doctors that she had multiple sclerosis. She was treated for MS for nearly 20 years before she finally became wheelchair bound. We moved her closer to my sisters so they could take her to her medical appointments.
A change of doctors and re-examination of her MRI's revealed that she never had MS, but spinal stenosis. She had two consecutive operations to correct her spinal channel, and her recuperation was painful, but she regained her ability to walk and her pain was greatly diminished.
The doctor told us that the surgery has a high rate of success, so I have no doubt that you will experience similar, dramatic results.

Found out yesterday that I will be going in for my 2nd back surgery on Monday January 25th 
I've got Spinal Stenosis now, where the spinal cord is constricted causing lots and lots of pain for myself. Normal diameter for the spinal column is 14mm. Starts getting pretty painful at around 12-10mm, and intense pain sets in at around 9-8mm. Mine is at 6mm, well beyond the pain free zone They're going in to relieve the pressure around the spinal column and hopefully get me back to normal.
All this past year, since my last surgery(January 21st 2009) they've been telling me that everything was fine, and basically all the pain I've been having has been in my head. So on one hand I'm sad that they found something wrong with me and I'm going to have to have another surgery, but on the other hand I'm really glad they finally figured out what was wrong with me and that the pain wasn't just in my head, and are(hopefully) able to fix the problem.
So thats it, I'm a broke down old man
