Spinal Stenosis

Spinal Stenosis - Symptoms

What are the symptoms of spinal stenosis?

Symptoms include the following:

Back pain
Muscle weakness and/or numbness/tingling, if pressure on the nerves is significant
Balance and continence may be affected in severe cases
There may also be a dull ache or cramp-like sensation in one or both legs during prolonged walking and/or standing

Symptoms usually improve once there is a change in position such as sitting down or bending forward.
