Case Summary | Lumbar Stenosis
| Condition | Back Lower (Lumbar) Stenosis |
| Case Description | I have been suffering from Lumbar Stenosis. For those that do not know it is when the spaces in your spinal canal shrink. It causes awful contracting pain through my butt and hips, and sometimes shoots down the backs of my legs. The doctor has been keeping the pain at a tolerable level with the help of pain killers, but that is just temporary. I am waiting for my doctor to suggest surgery, as i know that is one of the options for treatment of this condition. I am not elderly, Lumbar Stenosis is more common in older people. I think this was stemmed from a fall that i had when i was ten years old. i am now 32. |
