Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis involves a narrowing of the spinal canal and lateral recesses through which the nerve roots and blood vessels pass.
The narrowing of this canal puts pressure on the nerve roots (cauda equina) causing various symptoms in the lower half of the body.
Leg pain
Numbness and tingling of feet and toes
Both legs may be involved
Leg muscle weakness
Burning or pain in the buttocks, especially after walking
Flexion of spine, such as the fetal position, tends to relieve discomfort.
Extension of the spine is uncomfortable.
In severe cases, loss of bladder and bowel control may be seen.
Usually caused by a shrinking and drying up of the disk spaces, this degenerative condition occurs in older adults. Simple wear and tear from daily living.
