What Are the Crippling Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal becomes narrowed. This narrowing can lead to nerve roots or the spinal cord to become pinched. Spinal stenosis can occur in either the lower back or the neck. Once the nerves become compressed, serious symptoms can occur that can lead to complications such as a loss of feeling in your legs or feet. Spinal stenosis is most common in people over 50 and can be associated with osteoarthritis-related bone destruction.
