You have a condition called spinal canal stenosis. This means the space around your spinal cord is narrow. The narrowing puts pressure on the nerves in your spine. This can lead to leg pain, numbness or weakness. Aging and regular use of the spine cause wear and tear. Treatment options include physical therapy exercises, medications, or surgery in severe cases.

Her spinal canal stenosis indicates that the area her spinal cord passes is becoming narrower. The compression may in turn apply force to the nerves that run down her legs, and consequently, she may have pain, weakness, or even numbness. Depending on the specific case, treatment may involve physical therapy, medications for pain, or in rare cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerves.

Complete spinal cord injuries often result in permanent disability, and the exact level and severity depend on the location of the spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation therapy, assistive devices, and adaptive strategies are often used to help those with complete spinal cord injuries to regain as much independence and functionality as possible. Recovery from a complete spinal cord injury can be limited, but there have been improved outcomes for some.
