Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Is A Pain In The Rear
There’s a diagnosis called Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. It’s a fancy name for a spine that has a narrowing channel which squeezes the nerves.
These nerves lead to your backside and your legs, so there can be considerable pain. There’s lot of reasons why the spinal canal can be too narrow. For one thing, you can be born that way. Or it can simply be due to wear and tear over the years. Disc bulges are another culprit. When a disc bulges and the vertebrae shift, the shape of the spinal canal can change.
Lumbar spinal stenosis results in low back pain and as well as affecting your backside and legs, it also can contribute to loss of bladder and bowel control.
This diagnosis isn’t life threatening, but it means you probably have pain in your rear which makes it hard to walk for any distance. Leaning at the waist usually relieves the pain, but it’s an uncomfortable position. The normal treatment suggestions for this diagnosis include exercise, steroid injections or even surgery.
Surgery as always, is an absolute last choice.
