I have Spinal Stenosis and also Peripheral Neuropathy. It is my understanding they do not cause each other. Spinal Stenosis is a narrowing of the spine. It can be found by a MRI, Diskogram or CT Scan. It causes pain when standing or walking and can be very painful. You can get it in the face & arms. check out: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/spinalstenosis.html

Peripheral Neuropathy can be caused by many things. Mine is caused by diabetes. It does have to do with the nerves. And my case, my feet are so numb, I can't feel nothing. Check out:
