Stenosis, Erectile Dysfunction, Taking Physiotherpy. What Is Treatment?
I was diagnosed with stenosis a few months ago. on doctors advice, my treatment were NSAID's and physiotherapy. I also lost weight and continued the exercises I was told to do. However a few days ago, something popped in my back and I have since then very strong symptoms of stenosis ( weakness in legs) stronger than before. Also, erectile dysfunction has started to rear its ugly head. Thoughts ?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden pop that you had in the back might have caused a muscle spasm or a further disc bulge causing more nerve root compression. Do consult a neurologist for evaluation.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
