Suggest Treatment For Spinal Stenosis

I have spinal stenosis, without pain. I have been able to do exercises that relieve tingling in both arms, but does not seem to work on the recent tingling in both legs. The tingling sensations are from above the knee to the toes. It has been intermittent but as become steady. Could this be related to something other than the stenosis?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptom tingling may not be due to stenosis, but it seems to be due to peripheral nerve compression, it could be due to postural, apart from that it may be nonspecific, for exact differentiation it requires certain neurological test, I would advise to maintain the good posture, diabetes also needs to be ruled out, symptoms may be age and gender related,
Complete finding of stenosis would be helpful,
hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
