What is the best solution for spinal stenosis and leg pain?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have spinal stenosis from last five years. I took a lot of medicine but the problem remains same. Pain also includes my legs down, foot, hips and standing more than ten minutes cannot bear. Please tell me the only best solution.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
For spinal stenosis, a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen or Paracetamol can be prescribed to relieve pain and inflammation. Physiotherapy is also beneficial. For neurological pain, Pregabalin can be prescribed. Reduce weight if obese through exercise and dieting. If all above measures failed then surgical management can be done. Take care. Consult orthopedic surgeons for examination and management.
For more information consult an internal medicine physician.
