I’m sorry that the decompression surgery hasn’t made any difference to your symptoms, that’s so rotten … We’ve not had many members who have returned for a stent (it may be that some have, but haven’t been back on here?), I’ve heard mixed things about stenting, but I guess all you can do is to be guided by the experienced doctors. There are some research papers which mention it, if you have time to look in the Research papers category, including by Dr Fargen, here’s some to get you started in case they’re helpful:
