Hello,
I have studied your case
.
Canal stenosis leads to burning/numb sensation and pain in your arm and leg.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
My patients get good relief with holistic approach like pranayama, yoga, and sudarshan kriya. You can also start them.
If there is no relief with all conservative measures then decompression with fusion or disc replacement can be done.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
