Hello,
I think you mean spinal stenosis.
Rarely can happen in liver cirrhosis patients a spinal cord involvement, but, it is not your case because you are not a cirrhosis patient and it is not visible in X-rays or MRI.
So, I suggest you to clarify the diagnosis and to discuss with a spine Specialist for your issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
