What's the most common problem from spinal stenosis?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Leg pain: Classic symptoms for lumbar stenosis are leg pain with exertion. This improves with rest and with leaning forward. It is common to notice that you can walk further when at the grocery store when you lean over a shopping cart. Cervical stenosis can cause arm pain and weakness in the arms and legs. Balance and coordination can be affected, as can bowel and bladder function.
