Jay -
I agree with everyone else. You need a proper diagnosis, an new MRI at least, before making any conclusions. I see you live in Texas. I would highly suggest the Texas Back Institute, and to try to see Dr Zigler, Blumenthal or Guyer. TBI is one of the best in the country and they are truly top docs.
I too had a minimally invasive procedure like yours, only mine was without laser. But both were endoscopic decompression's, and I ended up worse in the beginning. Eventually the leg pain went away after about a year. But back pain has persisted for the past 13 years so I can empathize with living for a long time with chronic pain.

I am worse from his surgery. I have tried every alternative for over a year. yoga,meditation,physical therapy, tons of meds. Maybe this is my life. My main pain is still sciatic more than back pain. I also tried some prolotherapy. If anyone has any thing they want to take to me please to.
