Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What is Stenosis and how can it be treated? I have double vision, headaches, had an really bad ear ache, some shoulder pain and some arm pain. I just got the results of my blood test and they told me I have Stenosis. I appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thanks
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Stenosis is nothing but narrowing. Stenosis causes compression on your nerves and thus causes symptoms. This compression is the cause of your symptoms like pain and weakness. Consult a neurosurgeon and get evaluated. He will explain the various treatment options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
