Spinal stenosis surgery helps to reopen your spinal canal, the channel in your backbone that houses your spinal cord and other nerves.
A doctor does the surgery when the space in the canal narrows because of arthritis, bone spurs, or other problems. When that happens, the nerves can be pinched or squeezed.
It usually happens in people who are middle aged or older.
The symptoms can include pain in the neck, back, or legs; numbness, weakness, or cramping in the arms or legs; and foot problems. Sometimes the leg pain can get bad enough that you can’t walk.
