The most commonly associated syndrome is neurogenic claudication, which means pain in the legs when you are walking. This syndrome is what some people with spinal stenosis experience.

Diabetes is a risk factor for lumbar spinal stenosis. “Prolonged and frequent complications of diabetes include diabetic neuropathy, with symptoms such as pain and sensory and motor deficits in the legs. Lumbar stenosis is caused by vertebral space reduction, which can be due to new bone formation or hypertrophic [increase in muscular size] tissue changes.”
