Narrowed Spinal Canal (Stenosis) and Sciatica
Leg pain may occur due to problems with the nerves. Arthritis (of the spine) is a common cause of the narrowed spine. There is a lot of pressure on nearby nerve roots due to a herniated disc in some cases. This pressure leads to tingling, burning, or cramping leg pain when sitting or standing. Individuals may also experience fatigue and numbness in the legs.
Usually, the pain may begin in the back and hip and extend down to the legs later. Treatment of sciatica may involve the use of anti-inflammatories and pain medications. Also, it’s essential to rest the legs for better results. A licensed doctor may suggest other treatment methods if needed.
