A member asked:
Was told have congenital "small lateral recess space" in the lumbar spine l5 s1 what if it's because i'm a different race, i.e. far east?

Possible: Congenital stenosis is a common condition. It means that your spinal canal is smaller than what would be expected at that particular level of the spine. It affects surgical planning but does not mean that you will absolutely have to undergo surgery to treat your back.
