Can liquid glucosamine supplements like flexicose and synflex help with spinal stenosis?

No: Spinal stenosis symptoms are due to pressure on nerves in the spine. Gllucosamine, in theory, helps preserve/restore with cartilage in arthritic joints and would not have any effect on spinal stenosis symptoms.
