Measure
Individualized Report
Each patient in this group will receive an individualized report with their own outcome data (pain and function) during the first year of the LESS trial. They will receive these reports at 18 months. Individualized report: Each patient will receive an individualized report that contains their own outcome data for the first years of the LESS trial (including pain and function following treatment with epidural injections)
Individualized Reports After 24 Months
Patients in this group will receive the individualized report, but will not receive it until after the conclusion of the study at 24 months. They will serve as the control group.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

We will determine if providing individualized reports to the LESS trial participants at 198 months impacts healthcare utilization for spinal stenosis between 18 and 24 months (including doctors visits, physical therapy, surgery, opioid use)
