Hello,
Spinal stenosis needs to be treated with surgery so you might need to talk with your doctor and discuss the need for surgery.
Other treatments like pain killers (naproxen and tramadol) may be taken for pain but do not treat the spinal stenosis, they might be used while you arrange the surgery. Spinal stenosis is a stenosis of the canal where the spine is and if it is under pressure this pressure needs to be released to bring improvement and healing.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
