Hi Everyone - I'm a 67 year old retired librarian, and I've had lumbar spinal stenosis since 2017 age 58. The injections didn't work for me and I've been told surgery isn't appropriate. I use a walking stick, rollator or mobility scooter depending on the situation. My condition was stable for several years, but I've had a sudden worsening every year for the past three years - my last one was less than a week ago. We've had no holidays or breaks since 2024, and I've had to give up lots of things I used to enjoy. I've been unsure about whether to apply for a Blue Badge but now I'm know I'm disabled enough. Life is tough with LSS!
