The psychological and physical strain as well as the social relevance of leg cramps in patients with lumbar degenerative disorders such as lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and disc herniation (LDH) are underestimated.

Spinal cord compression, which often occurs simultaneously with LDH and LSS and has been shown to cause spastic weakness, is one of the mechanisms that may largely contribute to the higher susceptibility to cramps in these disorders.
