No: Spinal stenosis is not a transmittable condition so you do not have to fear. It may be more due to his activities, history of accidents, or his genetics or a combination of all 3.

No: Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to pressure on the nerves within the spine. It's primary cause is arthritic change. Thus, it is cannot be transmitted to others.

No: Spinal stenosis does run in families. It has a genetic basis. It comes from your ancestors, not from your spouse.
