Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain In Tailbone Radiating Into Buttocks While Suffering From Lumbar Stenosis?
I have pain in my tailbone and buttocks. The pain sometimes goes down the back of my legs. Sometimes the left leg, sometimes the right leg, sometimes both legs and sometimes it feels normal. Mostly not normal these lady 3 weeks. I also have l 4 l5 lumbar stenosis
I read your question carefully and I am sorry about the symptoms you are experiencing.
If you have a diagnosis of lumbar stenosis it means that there is possibility of nerve root compression as the nerves descend in the spinal canal. Nerve compression can manifest with pain along the trajectory of these nerves.
So your symptoms are pretty typical for lumbar stenosis.
I hope you feel better soon.
