Grocery shopping begins with finding your friend the shopping cart to reduce the pain of the trip. Stenosis refers to narrowing of the spinal canal. The most common means of reducing the pain of spinal stenosis is to modify your activities. Simply staying off your feet a bit more will reduce pain. Planning shorter episodes of standing and walking or using an assist such as a cane or walker, will often reduce mild to moderate stenosis pain such that no other treatment is necessary. Medications may reduce the pain of mild to moderate stenosis, some of which would include anti-inflammatories, anti-convulsions, and narcotic therapy.
