I have severe back pain after sitting for at least 15 . When I stand I will hear a popping noise and I have severe pain with it. The pain doesn t last but about 5 unless I don t hear the pop and then I can t straighten all the way up. I do have some spinal stenosis and bulging disc but this is a new symptom.

Welcome to HCM

There are variety of pain management techniques are available effectively ease the pain and inflammation for spinal stenosis keeping the severity in mind.
Non-surgical treatment includes
1.Exercises
2.Activity modification.
3. Icing the lower back after exercise is a common treatment of spinal stenosis. The goal of ice therapy is to numb the affected area and achieve temporary pain relief.
4.Heating over tight muscles in the lower back is often an effective way to achieve relief from spinal stenosis pain as heating the affected area stimulates blood flow, which promotes and accelerates the healing process.
Since inflammation is a common component of spinal stenosis, patients may achieve pain relief from NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin or ibuprofin
If symptoms are severe or interfering with daily life, it is a good idea to have a discussion with the doctor to review different stenosis treatment options. The doctor may prescribe physical therapy and exercises, injections (including possible epidural steroid injections), and occasionally stenosis surgery.
