Good in a bad sort of way.
I have had pretty bad spinal stenosis for several years, but it had never given me a problem beyond the pain of it. I have hit the gym 3-times/week for years. Two weeks ago, I went up on my squat and dead lift weight. After the workout we did our regular weekly Trivia night at a local restaurant. About an hour later, I could tell my hip and foot felt weird but did not think a lot about it. Got up from my chair at the restaurant and fell down. I realized I could not feel or control my foot at all. Got up and gathered myself and hobbled on home. Went to my Ortho the next day and they did a CT that showed the PL spinal ligament and a bone spur pinching my spinal cord. He put me on a steroid pack and has done daily spinal decompression (which I though was snake oil but seems to work). I have not worked out since the injury (honestly have not done much of anything weight-wise) and it has slowly gotten better. I still have numbness, tingling, and pain in the buttock, back of quad, and foot but I can feel the foot enough to confidently walk. It is better so the glass is at least half full.
So, all things considered, good news.
