What is secondary lumbar spinal stenosis What is secondary lumbar spinal stenosis?

Secondary spinal stenosis refers to spinal stenosis caused by non-congenital factors, mainly caused by long-term strain, local joint degeneration, or external injury. It is common in middle-aged and elderly patients, because such patients have reduced bone mineral density and bone strength, and vertebral instability can easily lead to bone hyperplasia, ligament degeneration and thickening.

Patients usually present with symptoms such as focal pain, limited movement, numbness and weakness of the lower extremities, and muscle stiffness and soreness, as well as worsening of nerve compression symptoms such as intermittent claudication after activity. If the spinal stenosis compresses the nerves, symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower extremities may also occur. If the spinal cord is compressed, it may also cause symptoms such as numbness in the perineal area, incontinence, muscle atrophy and even paralysis of the lower limbs.

Hello, it is the nerve compression caused by hyperplasia and calcification, and this disease is still relatively easy to **.

1. Low back pain.

Lumbar spinal stenosis will show the manifestation of low back pain, this symptom will appear in most patients, in the early stage of the disease, the patient will have the manifestation of low back pain, and with the development of the disease, the patient's symptoms will continue to worsen, not only the low back pain will be more intense, but also slowly there will be one or both lower limbs standing or walking pain, which will bring great pain to the patient.

2. Intermittent claudication.

Intermittent claudication is one of the typical symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis, after walking for a period of time, the lower limbs will be sore, numb, swelling and pain, and the legs will feel like lead, which will make the patient walk weakly, and then intermittent claudication will occur. However, this situation will be relieved after a period of rest, but it will be ** after walking.

3. Sciatica.

Sciatica is also a typical symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis, which causes typical sciatica when the nerve roots are compressed by spinal stenosis. This symptom is somewhat similar to lumbar disc herniation, which occurs with radiating pain in the lower extremities.

1. Lumbar spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal or intervertebral foramina caused by congenital deficiency factors or acquired factors, which causes compression of nerve tissue or blood circulation disorders, resulting in lower limb pain, numbness, neurogenic intermittent claudication and other symptoms, with or without low back pain.

2. The classification of lumbar spinal stenosis is mainly divided into congenital factors and acquired factors, which are mostly caused by congenital spinal hypoplasia, and acquired factors such as degenerative factors, spinal fracture or spondylolisthesis.

3. There is no obvious difference in the symptoms of patients due to congenital factors. Acquired factors are mostly due to bad habits, such as sitting for a long time and bending over for a long time to work, resulting in aggravated degeneration.

My mother is a herniated disc in the lumbar spine, and it was good to lie down with back pain before, but then it hurt badly, but fortunately, my cousin worked at the University of Chinese Medicine and used [Reba|] for my motherRob|Gao], two months later, my mother was not in pain, a sad journey2012-8-11 16:27:42

I wish you good health

One is osteocele, and the other is hyperplasia compressing the spinal canal.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is generally caused by trauma or aggravation of lumbar disc herniation or other symptoms, and it should be taken seriously when you feel low back pain.

According to the classification of ** and the site of stenosis, lumbar spinal stenosis In addition to various clinically independent diseases that cause stenosis, any cause of ** stenosis of the spinal canal, nerve root canal, and intervertebral foramen and the occurrence of cauda equina or nerve root symptoms should be called lumbar spinal stenosis. Generally, the combination of ** and stenosis can be divided into three categories: developmental lumbar spinal stenosis, secondary lumbar spinal stenosis and mixed lumbar spinal stenosis blast.

1. Developmental lumbar spinal stenosis.

Developmental lumbar spinal stenosis is a disorder in the development of the posterior structures of the spinal canal after birth.

2. Secondary lumbar spinal stenosis.

Secondary lumbar spinal stenosis, also known as degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis, is a narrowing of the lumena of the lumbar canal caused by degeneration of the lumbar vertebral body, intervertebral disc, and posterior articular process.

3. Mixed lumbar spinal stenosis.

It refers to the addition of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis or lumbar disc herniation on the basis of developmental lumbar spinal stenosis, or the coexistence of developmental and degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis with lumbar disc herniation, and the coexistence of the three is called mixed lumbar spinal stenosis.

According to the classification of spinal stenosis, lumbar spinal stenosis can also be divided into two categories: localized lumbar spinal stenosis and extensive multilevel lumbar spinal stenosis according to the extent of spinal stenosis.

1. Localized lumbar spinal stenosis.

It is limited to the local stenosis of 1 vertebral segment or 1 juvenile segment, such as ** canal stenosis and nerve root canal stenosis, and nerve root canal stenosis includes two parts: lateral recess stenosis and intervertebral foraminal stenosis.

2. Generalized lumbar spinal stenosis.

Spinal stenosis is extensive, involving multiple vertebral segments at the same time, not only the pedicle is shortened. The anteroposterior diameter has been reduced to less than 12 mm, and the distance between the young pedicles has also been shortened. The transverse diameter of the spinal canal is less than 20 mm.
