Probably!: I suspect you will have some benefit. How much? Only you will know. But this is inexpensive! any relief will be worth it!

Leaning forward: Stretches a ligament in your spine which bunches up like an accordion contributing to stenosis. This decreases the pain, so if you need a cane for balance while leaning forward, then use it. Better yet, find a pain management doctor.
