Can spinal stenosis cause short term memory loss?

I have lumbar and cervicle stenosis. For a couple of years, I've had issues with short term memory. Can stenosis cause short term memory loss or do I need to look elsewhere for the cause?

Answers:
Yes. Cervical impairment of nerves can directly cause short term memory loss AND recall difficulties. Also, with cervical stenosis there is commonly an habituated chronic stress reaction, a "nervousness", that causes a challenge, a challenge to learning and retaining information. And, pain alone can cause a cascade of reactions that hinders memory and recall.
You need to look elsewhere. Memory loss is a brain issue, not a spinal cord issue.
Spinal Stenosis affects either the spinal cord or the nerves, depending on where the Stenosis is located. It does not affect your brain!
