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.
