A member asked:

With spinal stenosis -- are leg weakness and leg tremors more common when it is cold?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Leg weakness & tremors are frequent symptoms of spinal stenosis. Cold also reduces strength of muscle contraction and also induces tremors. The combination of the two situations augment the responses.
