since you have stenosis, I'd get two or three opinions before you have surgery. I am no doctor, so don't believe anyone here over the advice of one. However, if you have a narrowing of the spinal canal, I am not so sure ADR would be able to fix that entirely. In fact I am not so sure fusion would fix that. it almost sounds like you need ADR and X-Stop. It really depends on how bad the stenosis it.
I know there are others here that have undergone that type of pain. I hope they see this thread and add some feedback.
