Spinal stenosis happens when the spaces in the spine narrow and create pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that comes out of the base of the brain and runs down the center of the spine.
👉👉Symptoms of spinal stenosis may develop when the spaces within the spine narrow, most often in the lower back and neck. The narrowing creates pressure on the spine and related structures, causing symptoms. For most people, symptoms develop and progress slowly over a period of time, and some people may not have any symptoms.

The symptoms you experience depend on the location of the narrowing in your spine.
👉👉Symptoms of spinal stenosis in the lower back can include:

👉Pain in the lower back.

👉Burning pain or ache that radiates down the buttocks and into the legs, that typically worsens with standing or walking and gets better with leaning forward (flexion).

👉Numbness, tingling, or cramping in the legs and feet. These may become more pronounced during standing or walking.

👉Weakness in the legs and feet.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time.

Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.

👉Osteoarthritis symptoms often develop slowly and worsen over time. Signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

👩‍⚕️Pain. Affected joints might hurt during or after movement.

👩‍⚕️Stiffness. Joint stiffness might be most noticeable upon awakening or after being inactive.

👩‍⚕️Tenderness. Your joint might feel tender when you apply light pressure to or near it.

👩‍⚕️Loss of flexibility. You might not be able to move your joint through its full range of motion.

👩‍⚕️Grating sensation. You might feel a grating sensation when you use the joint, and you might hear popping or crackling.

👩‍⚕️Bone spurs. These extra bits of bone, which feel like hard lumps, can form around the affected joint.

👩‍⚕️Swelling. This might be caused by soft tissue inflammation around the joint.
