Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
I have lumbar spinal stenosis of disc bulges and protrusion from L1-L5 . Doctor advised to take rest alone . I had claudification in the beginning . My calves are experiencing cramps if I walk and weakness in my right leg. The pinky feet was numb in the beginning but eventually it is reduced. Pain in my my back also reduced . Maybe of rest . The only thing is the weakness in my legs and cramping if I walk . What should I do ? Should I opt for some medications or surgery?
