Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My wife has a spinal stenosis from L1 to L5. Do to a heart condition, a left branch bundle block that is corrected by a pace maker, her cardiologist does not want her to receive a laamendectomy.
My question are two fold: 1) how long can a plasticizing of her compressed L1 fracture last? Is it permanent? Won't that procedure block the mending that would occur over time? 2) Would chelation therapy remove the metastatic calcium that has reduced the interior diameter of those vertebrae?
