Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have neurosarcardoisis since 1998. During this time I have had numbness in my left leg from below the knee. My neurologist has not been able to do anything for it and it has gotten worse. I have applied for disability now and I am going to PT for my leg, suggested by my lung Dr, and rehab for my lungs. At this therapy I meet with a PT to discuss my leg numbness and she thinks I hace spinal stenosis. Has anyone else had this along with the neurosarc? I have been a member of this site for many years and don't remember seeing anything on this. Thanks for any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Claude, I have spinal stenosis, but I doubt it's related to the sarc. Stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, usually caused by degeneration of aging or arthritis; the nerve roots that lead from the spinal cord can be compressed, causing a variety of symptoms such as pain, weakness, numbness, etc. Ramblin' Rose Moderator Reply-To: Neurosarcoidosis To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: Spinal StenosisDate: Wed, 23 May 2007 18:22:40 -0000 I have neurosarcardoisis since 1998.
