Overview
History and Symptoms
- A positive history of trauma, osteoporosis, obesity, congenital defects, Paget's disease, achondroplasia and cigarette smoking is suggestive of spinal stenosis.
- The most common symptoms of spinal stenosis include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
- Symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
History
Patients with [disease name]] may have a positive history of:
- Osteoporosis[1]
- Obesity[2]
- Cigarette smoking[3]
- Trauma[4]
- Congenital defects[5]
- Paget's disease[6]
- Achondroplasia[7]
Common Symptoms
Most patients with spinal stenosis present with lower extremity pain relieved spinal flexion (e.g sitting, cycling).[8][9][10]
The pain of spinal stenosis is usually associated with activity and walking, as lumbar extension during activity worsens the narrowing of the spinal canal. [8][9][10]
- Other common symptoms of spinal stenosis include:

Cervical | Headache
Loss of sensation over the upper extremities Motor weakness of neck, shoulder, and arm |

Weakness in the legs and feet
