Talk:Spinal stenosis

Cooper Manning

No offense to Cooper Manning. his illustrious family, and their many fans, but is he really relevant in this context? I don't think so and am removing the reference.

If anyone would like to make a case for including a list of famous persons who suffer from this debilitating condition, feel free. 71.206.217.214 (talk) 22:49, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Praise and suggestions

The diagram of the vertebrae was very useful in helping to understand the spinal canal abnormality. The bullet points are a good way to create fast and easy understanding of the material. The flow of the information was clear and organized. More pictures should be added to make the article more appealing. Only non-surgical treatments are listed, are there any surgical treatments? Epidemiology information should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.71.205.201 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)‎ There could be more color pictures incorporated to make the page, as well as more detailed bullet points. (Sbrunner44 (talk) 00:54, 19 February 2012 (UTC)) The article shows it is well researched, providing substantial amount of resources. The article contains exceptional section headings, and is well structured. It contains good subsections under the section headings.Paliquito (talk) 05:04, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

The information on this page is easy to comprehend. The bullet points are quick to read but it might flow better by changing the bullet points into complete sentences. I really liked the pictures because they helped explain visually where spinal stenosis is located. The information is straight-forward and there is a good amount of subheadings. Explanations for this Wikipedia article are placed when necessary. Flashy1110 (talk) 03:24, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I have stenosis of my cervical spine. Looking at my own images over time showing the progression is what helps me "see" it the most. Graphic comparison to normal, to see the differences, might help this article a great deal. It's not a bad article, but this could help the move to "great". Also, the word "stenosis" isn't in the wiki's spell-check dictionary. I can add it locally, but globally, that just looks bad. 96.245.14.36 (talk) 13:35, 6 September 2012 (UTC) oh, and someone mentions surgical treatments not being mentioned. I'm not a source, just a patient. The procedure I know is called a "laminectomy", where excess tissue (tissue restricting the spinal cavity) is cut away. There is one in my future, and I don't look forward to it. 96.245.14.36 (talk) 13:40, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

We wanted to give more information that was not provided for cervical spinal stenosis. We are doing a project for school in our senior level class.

Notes on Spinal Stenosis

a. Good i. The organization and flow of this page is done well, and I liked how the information was brought out overall. ii. For the section under “causes”, I liked the formatting of the page and how it was organized with bullet points so that the readers can see a chart type format of this disorder. iii. I liked how the diagnosis section had the three different portions to it with the detailed descriptions of what it entails. b. Needs Work i. Could add more links to specific words in the introduction in order for the readers to click on the specific terms and learn more about them. ii. Maybe can work on making the introduction a bit more easier to understand so that readers may understand what is being said. This can be done possibly by elaborating a bit more on certain areas so that it is less verbose and easier to comprehend. iii. More photos can be added to help some readers picture what is going on, and show different aspects and views of this disorder.
