Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having lumbar spinal stenosis along with degenerative change in lumbar spine. Yes it is responsible for pain after walking for some distance in leg and ankles. Its treatment is Diacerine, glucosamine and Mecobalamine. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful for pain relief. You may require decompression operation if not relieved by medicines. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
