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
