Hello,

I have studied your case.
Yes your symptoms suggest spinal stenosis, and I will advise to do MRI spine and hip.

You may need decompression in severe case .
Meanwhile lifestyle modification ,medication,exercise and physiotherapy will help .

Start neurotropic which will help in carpal tunnel also.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
