See below: Spinal stenosis happens in the adult population, and can cause compression on the spinal cord. Symptoms from spinal stenosis can in part mimic MS disease in the spinal cord. Screening for spinal stenosis is important with certain symptoms, including worsening leg weakness, changes in bowel/bladder control or sensation, to exclude a surgically correctable condition and not blame incorrectly ms.

Not really: Patients may have both spinal stenosis and MS but there is no causative relationship between the two. In other words, MS does not predispose someone to have spinal stenosis. There occurences are purely coincidental.
