Explanation

"No foraminal stenosis" refers to the absence of a condition where the small openings (foramina) on the sides of the spine, through which nerves exit the spinal column, are not narrowed. If these openings become narrow, it can put pressure on the nerves, which can cause pain. However, in this context, there is no such narrowing, meaning the nerves have enough space.
