Having gone through your mother’s history, I am not clear how the diagnosis of spinal stenosis was made. How long can she walk? Had the distance of walking reduced over period of time? Does she feel difficulty in getting up from sitting position? Is there any weakness of the foot? Finally she may need investigations like mri, before making a diagnosis.
Next Steps
Physical evaluation and further investigation is needed. Feel free to consult.
