THIS IS HOW I FEEL PAIN ON MY LEG BECAUSE OF LUMBER SPINAL STENOSIS

Leg pain while lying on the back When lying on your back, the lower spine’s natural inward curve (called the lumbar lordosis) is more accentuated than when sitting or reclining. Holding the spine in this position decreases the size of the passageways (foramina) where nerve roots exit the spinal column. If a herniated disc or bone spur is present, this position can directly pinch a nerve root and result in sciatic leg pain (called lumbar spinal stenosis). Typical Symptoms of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis The characteristic symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis is increased pain in the legs with walking (neurogenic claudication or pseudo claudication), which can markedly diminish one's activity level. People with lumbar spinal stenosis are typically comfortable at rest but cannot walk far without developing leg pain. Pain relief is achieved within 5 to 10 minutes when they sit down or lean forward.4 Spinal nerve root involvement may cause a more sharp, shooting type of pain in the leg. The symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis develop slowly. As the condition progresses, the symptoms may worsen and become quite debilitating. For each person, the severity and duration of lumbar stenosis symptoms are different and based on the affected neural tissue(s). Common symptoms may include one or more of the following: Radicular pain: Nerve root compression or irritation that results in leg pain, which typically travels down from the lower back into the buttock and leg on one side—commonly called sciatica. Lumbar radiculopathy: Nerve root compression or irritation that results in tingling, weakness, and/or numbness that radiates from the lower back into the buttock and leg on one side. Neurogenic claudication: Spinal cord compression that causes a symmetrical pattern of pain affecting both legs while walking or standing for a long period of time. Neurologic deficits, such as loss of coordination, gait imbalance, numbness, and weakness affecting both legs may also occur. For most people, symptoms of lumbar stenosis fluctuate, with some periods of more severe symptoms and some with fewer or none. The symptoms develop gradually and can lead to chronic pain and muscle weakness over time. It is also possible for lumbar spinal stenosis to be asymptomatic (not cause any symptoms) THAN YOU FOR YOUR INFO:REF: https://www.spine-health.com/video/lumbar-laminectomy-surgery-video https://www.spine-health.com/video/lumbar-spinal-stenosis-video https://www.spine-health.com/video/treatment-spinal-stenosis-video https://www.spine-health.com/video/epidural-steroid-injections-back-pain-and-leg-pain-video

Mild cardiomegaly PROBLEM

The Wrap Up Mild cardiomegaly is a slight enlargement of the heart. In the case of mild cardiomegaly, hypertrophy is caused by a need for the heart to pump more frequently or harder. If blood pressure is raised, the heart must push harder to circulate the blood through the body in order to combat against the heart, and this in turn leads to mild cardiomegaly. Because high blood pressure can have a host of other health complications in addition to cardiomegaly, it is important that medications are employed to lower blood pressure, which will relieve both the mild enlargement of the heart and any other problems. During a heart attack, blood flow to a part of the heart is cut off by a blockage or clot. Cardiomyopathy is a disease that results in inflammation of the heart muscles.(REF https://healthfully.com/mild-cardiomegaly-5084870.html) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ((NOTE; My result is Mild cardiomegaly PROBLEM )) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Specific degenerative changes in the spine. Spinal stenosis. This is the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can be caused by a number of factors, including DDD and osteoarthritis. This narrowing can lead to pinched nerves and accompanying symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness.

L5S1 PROBLEM

An L5-S1 disc disease is a disease of the intervertebral disc space between two vertebrae of the spine. The most frequently encountered is degenerative disc disease, a process of gradual deterioration of an intervertebral disc mainly due to osteoarthritis. In most cases, this disc degeneration is located at the lumbosacral junction between the L5 and S1 vertebrae. There is stiffening, drying, and a gradual settling of the disc. This is due to cellular aging of the intervertebral disc. (ref from https://health.ccm.net/faq/299-l5-s1-disc-disease-definition-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention)

ref on web My doctor says I have degenerative changes in my spine. Does this mean I have arthritis? Answer From April Chang-Miller, M.D. Yes. The phrase "degenerative changes" in the spine refers to osteoarthritis of the spine. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. Doctors may also refer to it as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis in the spine most commonly occurs in the neck and lower back. With age, the soft disks that act as cushions between the spine's vertebrae dry out and shrink. This narrows the space between vertebrae, and bone spurs may develop. Gradually, your spine stiffens and loses flexibility. In some cases, bone spurs on the spine can pinch a nerve root — causing pain, weakness or numbness. If you have osteoarthritis, your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment and pain management plan, which may include exercise, medications and measures to protect your joints. Your doctor may also refer you to a rheumatologist, physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon.
