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.
