These are two different problems. Multiple Sclerosis is where areas in the brain and spinal cord lose their protein insulation, and Spinal stenosis is where there is an encroachment on the cord, usually occurring in the lower back area. This is to say that (most likely) Arthritis occurs at the end plate (extreme bottom, or top of vertebrae, and the adding on of new bone to those areas causes the spinal canal to become smaller, eventually resulting in pressure on the spinal cord.
