Lord Julian Fellowes has spinal stenosis<\/p>\n
\nThe Downton Abbey creator previously revealed he had been using a wheelchair due to spinal stenosis – a narrowing of the spinal canal that can put pressure on the spinal cord – but he insisted his condition hasn’t stopped him from being able to work or get on with his life.<\/p>\n

But in terms of feeling okay and getting on with things and working and all that stuff, I\u2019m fine. <\/p>\n
