What Causes Numbness In The Right Hand While Suffering From Spinal Stenosis?
I have a Dx of spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease of the lumbar (L4/L5), I had had three surgeries in the pact three years 2 for the back on one hip replacement (right side). Currently, my right side is weaken AM and PM and I have had constant numbness in the right hand the point that it hurts to button my shirt. I have seen my primary, 2 surgeons and one specialist for the C-spin back pain and numbness. My question is can this get worse if not treated and how long would it take if exacerbated? I have an appointment with another surgeon but not until 4 APR.

spinal stenosis mostly treated without surgery... and it depends on your symptoms and clinical checkup.. so u have to consult doctor for correct treatment plan... initially numbness n tingling sensation are less but they become worse gradually.. do don't neglect your problem
