Please can constipation cause lumbar stenosis?

NO!: U may have some back pain, but spinastenosis is an intrinsic spinal disease.

Not at all.: Narrowing of lumbar spine/ stenosis is usually from degeneration or arthritis of the spine related to aging. Ask your dr for the cause of your constipation. U may need a colonoscopy if it persists. Best wishes! http://www.Medicinenet.Com/script/main/mobileart.Asp?Articlekey=84876 http://www.Ehow.Com/how_4621539_treat-constipation-natural-remedies.Html.
