Robert's spinal stenosis surgery story

Robert's spinal stenosis required surgery. His spinal stenosis was caused by a few issues and Spinal Stenosis Surgery was the only method that could permanently end his pain.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal column, which leads to the compression of the spinal cord or the spinal nerve roots. The primary goal of the Spinal Stenosis Surgery is to provide additional space for the constricted spinal cord, nerve roots or nerves to pass through.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is caused by the compression of nerve roots in the lower back and often manifests as tingling, numbness or pain that radiates from the lower back and down to the buttocks or legs, also known as radicular pain or radiculitis. Neurogenic claudication is also a symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis and causes cramping or pain in the legs due to a nerve problem.

When the spinal canal or vertebral foramina narrow due to disease, degenerative arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or the degenerative aging process, lumbar spinal stenosis is usually diagnosed and subjected to applicable treatment methods. Spinal osteoarthritis destroys cartilage between vertebrae, promotes bone spur formation (osteophytes) and excessive growth of ligamentous structures. This is a result of the degenerative aging process. Also, while generally benign, synovial cysts may develop as a result of spine degeneration.

Lumbar spinal stenosis may also result from spondylolisthesis. This is when a vertebra slips forward onto the vertebra below. As the vertebral foramina narrows and spinal cord nerves suffer pressure from being compressed and restricted, lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms emerge and gradually worsen unless spine surgery is performed to remove pressure on nerves.

Delaying treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis may result in worsening symptoms, nerve damage, loss of function, myelopathy, urinary incontinence or loss of normal bowel functioning, etc.

Since spinal stenosis is at its core a condition that compresses the spinal canal, any Spinal Stenosis Surgery would have to relieve that compression in order to alleviate the symptoms associated with it.
