Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. When spinal nerves become compressed and irritated, back pain and sciatica may result. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal column that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that can cause pain or numbness with walking and over time leads to leg weakness and sensory loss. At home you can give your wife pain killers such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest gentle stretching exercises. If the symptoms continue, you should get evaluated by a neurologist. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
