Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

The spinal canal located in the lower back is called the lumbar spinal canal. When this canal narrows, it compresses nearby nerves, causing pain, swelling, and restricted mobility. This condition is known as lumbar spinal stenosis.

Symptoms

• ✔ Pain, weakness, or numbness in the buttocks, calves, or legs
• ✔ Persistent cramping in the calves while walking
• ✔ Radiating pain in the thighs and legs
• ✔ Loss of bowel or bladder control (in severe cases)
• ✔ Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
• ✔ Pain relief while sitting or bending forward

Causes

While osteoarthritis is the most common cause of lumbar spinal stenosis (particularly in people over 50), other contributing factors include:

• ✔ Rheumatoid arthritis
• ✔ Narrow spinal canal present from birth
• ✔ Tumors in the lumbar spinal canal
• ✔ Spine injury from accidents or falls
• ✔ Previous spinal surgery
• ✔ Certain bone diseases that cause narrowing

Diagnosis

A neurosurgeon or spine specialist typically diagnoses lumbar spinal stenosis by reviewing your medical history, conducting a physical examination, and ordering imaging tests such as:

• ✔ X-ray – to check bone structure and alignment
• ✔ MRI – to detect nerve or disc compression
• ✔ CT scan – to examine detailed spinal structures
• ✔ Myelogram – to evaluate nerve root compression
