One reader wanted to know what is the treatment is for spinal stenosis.
Dr. Dubin says: spinal stenosis (narrowing) can be the outcome for some people of degenerative arthritis. It may sound more threatening than it is. Basically, there is boney spurring that narrows the space available for the nerves to exit the spinal column. This puts pressure on the nerves and can cause pain. There is no special treatment other than the usual analgesics and non-steroidals. A small percentage of people may ultimately need to have back surgery.
