Can spinal stenosis lead to short term memory loss?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It just doesn't work that way. You may think you are going to lose your mind due to the pain and you may lose your mind taking the medications used to treat the pain of spinal stenosis but, no, it does not lead to short term memory loss.
