Your spine, or backbone, protects your spinal cord and allows you to stand and bend. Spinal stenosis causes narrowing in your spine. The narrowing can occur at the center of your spine, in the canals branching off your spine and/or between the vertebrae, the bones of the spine. The narrowing puts pressure on your nerves and spinal cord and can cause pain.
Spinal stenosis occurs mostly in people older than 50. Younger people with a spine injury or a narrow spinal canal are also at risk. Diseases such as arthritis and scoliosis can cause spinal stenosis, too. Symptoms might appear gradually or not at all. They include pain in your neck or back, numbness, weakness or pain in your arms or legs, and foot problems. Treatments include medications, physical therapy, braces and surgery.

Sakit yang dikenal pasti yang dihadapi Anwar adalah "stenosis" mahkamah diberitahu hari ini. Dr Hoogland, Pakar daripada Jerman, saksi alibi Anwar memberi keterangan di hadapan Hakim Mohd Zabidin Md Diah hari ini.
Bercanggah dengan anggapan awal, bahawa kecederaan Anwar sebelum ini kononnya akibat tumbukan oleh mantan IGP, Tan Sri Rahim Noor yang berlaku pada tahun 1998, semasa Anwar dalam lokap tahanan.
