I have numbness in both of my forearms into my fingers and now both legs.
Does anyone else have spinal stenosis and resulting leg numbness/pain/weakness when walking? I’ve had stenosis affecting my walking to some degree since I was 26. I keep hearing I’m “too young,” so I’m just curious if others on here experience it as well.

The article mentions that Nsaids, biologics, and other Immunosuppressive medications contribute to gut dysbiosis which in turn contributes to inflammation. Isn't recommending them to patients counter productive to alleviating the inflammation?
Yes, you mention many procedures/options my doctors have not even brought up as options. In the last 4 years (maybe) I seem to have gone from 5ft9 inches to 5ft6 inches!! My spine is a mess. I've… read more
