What does stenosis mean? They said I had that.
Hi there!
Well, the pain/ discomfort in the fingers could be a result of the cervical issues or due to local causes such as inflammation, degeneration, injuries etc.; while the ankle/ leg issues could be related to the issue with the lumbar spine. Also other issues such as myopathies, neurological issues, nutrient deficiencies etc. may need to be ruled out as a cause.
I would suggest going ahead with cervical surgery and discussing the possible management options for the lumbar stenosis with your treating doctor.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
