Spinal Stenosis

Have you been diagnosed with spinal stenosis as a cause of your back pain? Were you told that degenerative changes in your spine are making it difficult for you to stand up straight and walk?

If you’ve got Lower Back Pain That is Worse with standing and walking That Just Won’t Go Away –

Then YOU MUST KEEP READING!

You may feel that it’s going to change and get better over time. Or you feel like you just slept weird, took too long of a walk or just have some tight muscles along your back that won’t let go! Worse, you may just have accepted it as a “fact” of life. But you don’t have to.

It’s hard to figure out sometimes what exactly caused your back pain to start BUT once it starts, it can be exhausting and unforgiving!

If you are having this back pain with standing and walking that relieves with sitting and taking a break, you are NOT alone, and we hear these types of complaints ALL the time. Spinal stenosis is one of the most common problems that we see relating to back pain in our physical therapy office in Crofton, Maryland.

A lot of our patients ask us…

It’s really common to feel that your back pain (aching, tightness) will resolve on its own in time.

That if you are patient enough to wait it out, it will miraculously disappear, and you will finally be able to sit again!!

But then you realize that too many months later, you are still suffering from the same debilitating pain every day that is preventing you from living your life and most likely getting worse with time.

Does it seem like no one understands or is listening to what is going on with your body? Did you go to the Doctor and they gave you some muscle relaxers or pain medications to see how things change? And NOTHING has changed??

We hear this on a regular basis at our Physical Therapy Office. But rarely is this the best advice to wait your pain out and we see that when you follow up with your Doctor the next month, little has changed. And then many people are given more medications that are stronger in nature and told to keep resting, which is very frustrating and will typically not keep your symptoms quiet.

Do you feel like your aching, throbbing back pain is lasting too long? Are you lost in the mix of recommendations from your doctor, family and friends as to what you should do now? There are a lot of people that only want to help and tons of information on the internet BUT it’s not all credible or reliable information.

Is this spinal stenosis or arthritis keeping you from living your life and enjoying activities? Are you having trouble walking around the grocery store and completing your shopping trips without leaning over on the cart to reduce your back pain? And are you feeling unsteady when you are walking and afraid that you may fall if you walk too far without something to hold onto?

Maybe you feel like you have been walking too much and that is causing your back pain OR that you have overdone your exercise, sports or other activities putting too much strain on your back – but typically it is caused by years of repetitive movements that causes your issues. It can also be normal changes that occur with aging in our spine that puts stress on all the surrounding structures causing your back pain. But don’t think that you must accept it. We can and will get you to where you want to be!

Back pain caused by spinal stenosis and arthritis is a challenging condition that will affect so many aspects of your life and continue to cause problems at the most inopportune times without help. It’s even more infuriating when you don’t know how to get better and solve your problems.
