You sound like me....I have the stenosis too plus other things like you but the stenosis pinches nerves..hense why I had back surgery three years ago. I have stenosis in my neck as well. Hense pain 4 days out of seven and numb arms when I sleep. I think its the angle my neck is on the pillow sometimes. I have gone from two pillows to one which helps a little. Also with back pain you can lie down. I wish sometimes I could remove my head and set it on the dresser for a couple hours...LOL
Back pain definately affects the legs big time and the MRI does show why!!! Stupid Doctor. Let him have the back pain!!
