Pseudoclaudication

Pseudoclaudication, close to claudination, also cause leg pain. However, pseudoclaudication is caused by spinal stenosis (narrowing), not artery blockage. The spinal narrowing can be caused by buldging disks, bone spurs or thickening of the ligaments. The narrowing will put pressure on the nerves that control leg movement and sensations, resulting in leg pain.
