Spinal Stenosis

    Spinal Stenosis

    My legs feel numb whenever I walk, so I have to sit down.

    Spinal stenosis is part of the degenerative spinal disease. When facet joints and tendons near the spinal canal thickens, the nerve holes are narrowed down, which causes pressure on nerves and pain. Though the probability is low, younger people can also suffer from spinal stenosis in cases that degenerative process quickens due to bad posture or continuous stress on spines.

    Causes

    • Narrowed spinal canal due to degenerative bones or tendons

    • Innately narrow spinal canal, causing pain

    • Stenosis caused by spondylolisthesis

    • Swollen mucous membrane around the spinal canal, pressing the nerves

    Symptoms

    • Heavy pain when walking, which disappears when sitting down
    • Numb, painful, weakened legs
    • Severe back pain when leaning backwards
    • Cramps and heavy feeling in legs
