A member asked:

Could spinal stenosis in lumbar spine cause bluish color feet?

9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

No.: Blood vessels that feed the feet do not go through the spinal canal. Spinal stenosis can cause problems with movement or sensation in the feet, but not their blood supply.

No: The symptoms of spinal stenosis can sometimes mimic those of vascular disease (clogging of blood vessels). I would see your doctor and get this checked out right away. Patients with vascular disease in the legs may also have it in the heart (leading to the potential for a heart attack)>.

No: A vascular problem would be more likely.
