A member asked:
Doesn't spinal stenosis mean that it's bone spurs that pinch the nerves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched nerves: Depending on how severe the nerves are compressed, spinal stenosis just means narrowing of the spinal canal from any- and all causes. Some people have terrible symptoms when standing and walking due to bone spurs; other patients can tolerate it just fine; despite bigger spurs... A good ortho spine doc can look at the scans for you and determine the best course of action.
