Spinal Canal Stenosis Symptoms

Symptoms

Pain is a common symptom of spinal stenosis and the location of the pain will depend on whether the stenosis is present in the upper or lower portions of the spine. 95% of patients with spinal canal stenosis experience sciatica while 70% complain of sensory changes in their lower limbs. Some of the other symptoms of spinal stenosis include:

Pain that radiates down the leg (sciatica).
Cramping or general pain in either the arms or legs.
Foot drop – in which painful leg weakness causes the affected foot to “slap” on the ground.
Numbness and weakness in the affected limbs.
Pain that is more severe when upright and reduces while sitting
