Spinal Stenosis

Symptoms of vertebral canal stenosis

In the complex, these processes make such a narrow vertebrate channel that the conduction of nerve impulses is interrupted by pressure on the nerve roots and the spinal cord. For example, in the lumbar region there are painful symptoms, somewhat similar to the symptoms of ischias. Since all the limbs and internal organs of the body are innervated (receive impulses) through the nerve roots coming from each segment of the spine, respectively, the symptoms of spine stenosis (the presence of narrowing and compression on the spinal cord in any of the spine) can affect motor activity , sensitivity of limbs, work of internal organs. Stenosis of the vertebral canal is divided into three types:

• cervical stenosis
• chest stenosis
• lumbar stenosis

Symptoms of vertebral canal stenosis:

Neck stenosis:

• Feeling heaviness in the legs
• Inability to walk fast
• Deterioration of fine motor skills (handwritten input or locking of a shirt)
• Interrupted shots of pain in the hands and feet (especially when headed forward
• Hand pain (cervical radiculopathy)

Chest stenosis of the spine (diagnosed less frequently than stenosis in the cervical and lumbar regions):

• Problems with the sensitivity of the upper chest and area around the shoulder blades
• Weakness of the muscles, especially in the legs.
• Problems with walking and maintaining balance.

Lumbar spine stenosis:

• Strong pain in the legs (hips) (as with inflammation of the sciatic nerve)
• Lumbar pain that falls during a sloping or sitting position
• Pain While Walking
• Full or partial stop control
• Feeling of numbness of the legs
• Problems with urinary control
