Spinal canal stenosis :
Spinal canal stenosis means narrowing of the space (spinal canal) inside the spine where the spinal cord passes.
It is a common cause of spinal cord problems, especially in people over 50 years old.
When the canal becomes very narrow, it can press on the spinal cord or nerves.
This pressure can cause gradually increasing neurological problems, such as weakness, numbness, pain, or difficulty walking.
CAUSES :
Degeneration of the spine → bone growth and thickened ligaments narrow the canal.
Spondylolisthesis → one vertebra slips forward and narrows the canal.
Disc bulge → a bulging disc takes up space in the canal.
Other causes → tumors, inflammation, or fractures.
Symptoms:
Pain, numbness, or tingling in the legs
Leg pain increases with standing or walking
Symptoms improve with sitting or bending forward
Weakness or heaviness in the legs
Difficulty walking for long distances
Sometimes bladder/bowel problems in severe cases.
