In a German medical report, patient has both cervical and lumbar back pain:
"Kein Foramenverschlussschmerz oder Kompressions-Extraktionsschmerz."
I can't find anything on "Foramenverschlussschmerz" in the Internet so don't know how to translate it into English. Is it the same as pain from foraminal stenosis?
Kompressionsschmerz I understand. Please see my other question on "Extraktionsschmerz".
Thanks,
Stephen

I would also think, that you cannot determine if the stenosis is 99% (still narrowing) or 100% (closure) without imaging.
