[|Human|] im 22 years old and the last 2 weeks ive been having really bad back pain, its a stabbing pain and sometimes my leg goes numb. it occurs when i sit down, stand up, breathe and even when i go to the bathroom. it feels like the pain is getting worse do you know what is causing this?
[|AI|]  Hi, Your symptoms classically describe a condition called Spinal Canal Stenosis. The spinal canal is a central Colin Chat Doctor.  Due to some conditions, the canal can get narrowed and this causes the nerves exiting out and the cord to be compressed; which is causing your symptoms. If the symptoms are getting severe as you had said, you must consult a spine surgeon immediately and get an MRI scan done of your lower back along with a complete spinal screening. It also requires surgical correction if a trial of pain medications and physical therapy fail to rectify your pain and other symptoms.
