Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck. The patient complains of low back pain that radiates into the buttocks and down the thighs, usually as far as the calves. The pain is usually worse when standing or attempting to walk, and the patient may find relief by sitting down and leaning forward. An aching sensation or feeling of heaviness in the legs, along with numbness and tingling, may also occur. The symptoms get worse over time. Failure of medical therapy is an indication for surgery. If your symptoms persist despite taking medicine regularly, then you should consult Dr Ammar Anwer for minimally invasive endoscopic decompression of spinal stenosis.
