Spinal stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen. It can cause pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.[1]

Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.

Symptoms usually get worse over time. Severe symptoms may include bladder and bowel problems or sexual dysfunction.[2]
