To be able to come up into an accurate diagnosis can be difficult. This is because spinal stenosis symptoms are often linked to other medical conditions. Leg pain or sciatic nerve pain is probably the most common symptom of lumbar stenosis of the spine. Added to that are lower back pain, leg numbness and tingling and limits in walking.
Taking a rest usually helps ease leg pain from either condition but someone who has spinal stenosis sitting down for 3 to 5 minutes will actually relieve the pain. Patients with vascular claudication, they actually have to refrain from walking to be able to relieve the pain that they are experiencing.
In general, the spinal stenosis symptoms progress over the course of several years, becoming acute stenosis usually. People with the said condition feel that leg pain worsens the longer period of time they are walking or standing. Bending forward or sitting down is the most common way to be able to ease leg pain and other symptoms that may occur. The recurring of the pain and discomfort often resumes when the sufferer resumes an upright position.
The sensation in the leg, e.g. numbness and tingling, may come with some spinal stenosis pain and also comes with weakness of the muscles in some other situations. A person who is leaning over the handle of a shopping cart, for example, to be able to make short stumble steps is a sign that the person has spinal stenosis and enduring the symptoms.
A dynamic effect on the compressed nerves is felt by the person with stenosis of the spine. Symptoms often occur when bearing weight on the affected area, and no symptoms whatsoever when a relief of the pain is made. Physical exams and test may not show a medical problem or weaknesses in the motor due to the changing state of the nerves. In order to study the effects of spinal loading on the upright body position, different scanning methods were performed.
