Difficulty Standing
It might be hard to perform daily tasks when you are suffering from spinal stenosis. This is because the nerves in your spinal cord are compressed and make it difficult to stand straight for an extended period. Also, it would cause your normal posture to become insufficient. In severe cases, the tightening and stiffening of muscles around your spinal cord would worsen the symptom and cause pain. A simple way to alleviate is to take a short rest before standing up again.
