At age 55 asked doctor about some numbness in my upper right leg that I could get rid of by kicking or pulling the leg up like you showed in the video. Years later at about 70 the numbness started in the other leg. Took my 2nd MRI. Both showed Spinal stenosis Still I ran or rode bike daily. Then I did, what seems now, a foolish thing: I took the first 2 Pfizer Covid jabs. A week later I went to the hospital with many health complaints. Am now am 86 . Feet have numbness. Keep walking for about 30 minutes a couple of times a week. I think that because I’ve practiced Tai Chi for 30+ years is the reason I still walk with a bamboo stick. Now do QKong daily as well. Am certainly adding your video routine as well. Just learning to live with it! Thank you Doctor Keep doing what you’re doing.

Was diagnosed with this about 5 years past. The doctor referred me to physical therapy and they never preformed any of these exercises. So dropped out as it was not helping. Now I understand why. Been going to the gym on a seated bicycle. Even walking I would become very bent over. And shopping used the cart to support me. Use a walking staff. Have a compressed cartilage between the 4th and 5th vertebrae from a fall when 15 years old so this may a result of that also. 73 years now. Thanks for this may help.

Plan to do the stretching exercises every day for a while to see if there is any difference. Already doing them on waking this week and able to walk further with my dog with reduced pain. So fingers crossed. GP practice not interested "this is back pain" 'nothing we can do for you'" "you'll just have to take pain killers".. They continue to resist sending me to other practitioners other than physio thereapist. Won't arrange an MRI to determine what is going on. Told at my last appointment last week that I have arthiritis in L3,4 & 5 and that this was diagnosed in 2017. This was the first that I have heard of this never mentioned before. I have had 3 herniated discs in the same area but no mention of arthiritis in my lumber region. thanks again.

Have you tried Inversion? It might help. You can buy a basic inversion table for under $100. Basically you are using gravity to relieve the pressure in your lower back. You need to totally relax, slowly exhale. You might hear a pop or a bang.This is a good thing. Hopefully you will get relief. I tend to have a hang at the end of the day when the spine is most compressed.

There isn’t one fix for this condition. You have to try different things. For some, exercise and stretching help. I have a personal TENS unit. They can provide temporary relief. Physical therapy, massage therapy and yoga have helped me. Some swear by chiropractors but I’m not willing to go there. You have to strengthen your core and glute muscles. It’s a long term fix. Took me years to walk pain free and treated myself foregoing surgery. Even so, I had set backs. Just had to start the process all over again. I exercise 3 or 4 times a week now. Something I couldn’t do 9 years ago when I was younger.

Hi, during Corona, I got problem with my lumbar spinal stenosis. My GP started with medication but did not help . I was in pain and gradually my walking became very difficult and I just could have short walk and I was limping . Finally after MRI , They put me in waiting list for Lumbar decompression surgery. I was in waiting list for about 18 months and last October 2022 I had my surgery. But now after nearly 9 months after my surgery , still I can not walk like I used to do. I walk for a short distance and I need a bread to sit and then walk. Would you please let me know, do you think I will get better or not. It is unbelievable for me that I can not walk and do my routine things easily. some doctors told me that my recovery period might be taken 2 years? is it true? Thank you very much in advance .

If you symptoms are on the right, but the disc issue is on the left, it is unlikely that, that is causing your symptoms. Fortunately disc heal over time. As for what exercises you should do, I can't specifically recommend any as I don't know you condition.

Also be patient this will most likely be a months thing, not weeks.

Thank you! Great question, unfortunately we can't give you specific medical advice. But in general yes, just start slow and find the right entry point. Nothing beats smart programming!

I feel tightness in my low back when i walk and my legs acne me, i can't walk long distance without stopping to sit to continue my journey and my back has bent.I'm of going for surgery. Do you think these exercises can be of help ?

Yes, these stretches and exercises will definitely help!

Thanks, but not sure if I have this but my biggest problem is I can’t raise my right leg, my back just won’t let. I can’t get socks on anymore, have to use all kinds of device, I am almost half way lay down to get a sock on, my other leg no problem.

Yep! Sorry to hear that, if you are also having difficulty sitting cross legged on the floor and/or getting into your car. There is a good chance it is also your right hip. This video will help if so. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXhtu7uPhqyueaQ.html

What about glute exercises. Like a reverse leg lift. Is that ok with L2-S1 bulges, or would that probably pierce the cauda equina?

@PerformanceSportSpine

Those won't hurt the cauda equina. They can be a get exercise. With stenosis, lumbar extension normally isn't well tolerate so just make sure it is primarily the hips that are doing the movement

Sorry to hear you are dealing with this. The best advice we can give you is so watch the video and implement the stuff we talk about. People have great success if they can find the right entry point for movement and gradually increase as their symptoms allow. Also disc can heal, however, it can take many months to a year.

I am 36 and have all these symptoms (radiation goes down my left leg to calf with back extension) after doing a deadlift exactly one week ago and hearing 3 little popping sounds around my SI joint area. The doctor gave me steroids,flexiril, and a back brace but the pain is still about the same. Back brace in place and I still have the pain too. Is traumatic stenosis the same or do I possibly have something else to worry about? They didn't do imagining at the ED as it seemed they were just looking for bulge/herniated disc. Thanks for all the info regardless.

Sorry to hear this happened. As for it is traumatic stenosis or something else, I can't say unfortunately with an examination. Don't be too frustrated if there is still pain after 1 week, these usually take 4-8 weeks. And medication just doesn't help much when the pain is being caused by the nerves. Lastly, if it is stenosis and the back brace puts your low back (lumbar spine) into extension, it is likely to make this worse. Please let me know if you have any additional questions

I was in the ER and diagnosed with spinal stenosis lumbar radiculapathy. I was told not to lift weights, I'm confused with your exercises related to lifting weights.

It's mostly that blanket statements like "don't like weights" aren't helpful. The exercises we show as well as others are very well tolerated by most people with this condition and can greatly improve their quality of life and reduce their symptoms. We do online coaching if you are interested.

​@@PerformanceSportSpineI did your exercises today, the high knee lifts,and the exercise in the chair reaching to the opposite side.Well my symptoms felt 10 times worse. My legs felt more numb and weak and it took all day for the symptoms to decrease. I'm just going to stay with knee to chest exercises like I have done in the past.

Im only 38 and some days i cant barely walk

Glad it was helpful. It you have stenosis, unfortuantely anyone doing work on you will be temporarily at best in terms of reducing your pain. The best way is to follow the posture and activity modifications we cover. Then do the stretches and exercises. Best of luck!

I have stenosis in two areas of my lower back. I have pins and needles running dwn both my legs and pain in my waist area. Plus numbing feeling on the balls of my feet. Im living in my own personal hell!

Those are common findings with people with stenosis and general safe to start stretches/exercises. However we can't say specifically for you without a personal assessment. We hope to get a video on disc bulges up in the next few weeks

Is it still possible to lift weights at the gym with spinal stenosis? (Compound lifts)

Yes for most people. Often some modifications have to be made, like adjsting range motion, tempo, weight or doing a seated deadlifts instead of standing for example
