Hello everyone,
How are you doing today?
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower part of your back. Stenosis, which means narrowing, can cause pressure on your spinal cord or the nerves that go from your spinal cord to your muscles. Spinal stenosis can happen in any part of your spine but is most common in the lower back.
The most common cause of spinal stenosis is osteoarthritis, the gradual wear and tear that happens to your joints over time.
Symptoms may include:
Back pain, Burning pain going into the buttocks and down into the legs (sciatica), Numbness, tingling, cramping, or weakness in the legs. Loss of sensation in the feet, and foot drop.
