Arthritis
Arthritis conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis might lead to spinal stenosis. They are characterized by the inflammation of the body joints. When it affects the spine, the discs between your vertebrae can be deteriorated over time. This subsequently increases pressure on the spinal cord. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to manage the symptoms and prevent further complications. Some major risk factors of arthritis include obesity, previous joint injuries, sex, age, as well as family history. [2]
