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.

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.
