Symptoms of Severe Foraminal Stenosis
There are a number of different symptoms associated with foraminal stenosis. The symptoms you experience will depend on how narrow the foramen has become, how compressed the affected nerves are and where the condition manifests in your spine.
Patients with lumbar foraminal stenosis symptoms usually complain of pain in the buttock, thigh, leg or foot. If the foramen in the neck is affected, symptoms will likely manifest in your shoulders, arms, hands and fingers.
The most common symptoms of foraminal stenosis include:
- Dull, sharp or radiating pain
- Weakness or numbness in your arms or legs
- A burning, tingling or pins and needles sensation
- Difficulty standing straight or walking in a line
