So right many different opinions

I am 76 years old. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in my cervical spine and lumbar spine when I was 57. The specialist said I was too old for an operation, instead, I was given several years of physio and traction. The traction did help, however, the physio departments stopped doing traction and my physio was also stopped. I now have severe spinal stenosis in my lumbar spine and cervical spine. I can not walk very well, I fall easily. I have stiffness in my hands and I also lose the use of my left hand and my left leg. Walking is painful and my joints lock. My neck is very painful and I am unable to look up, my head is bent forward and I can not straighten it up. I am seeing a specialist in a few weeks, however, at my age, I don't hold out much hope that they will be able to help me. I can only hope they can as life is unbearable as I also have heart disease and I require shoulder joint replacement. I have already had one replaced in my left shoulder.

I am a Disabled Veteran and I had L4-L6 Decompression and hardware replacement and L7-S1 laminectomy in October 2023. 4 days later I was left with bilateral Neurogenic Claudication, which I did not have prior to the surgery. An MRI was ordered in November revealing a collapse or narrowing of the L3-L4 so a second surgery was performed in January 2024 to repair the L3-L4, and to relieve the Claudication symptoms. It is now March and I still have all of the Claudication symptoms. Prior to the first surgery I only had neuropathy down my left leg and back pain, though it was severe. I was able to do most everything but it was difficult. Now, I also suffer from Neurogenic Bowel and Neurogenic Bladder as well. Nobody seems to know how to fix me. I've been to a Vascular surgeon, a neurosurgeon and my orthopedic surgeon. I have had an MRA or the cervical spine, MRI of the cervical spine, MRI of the lumbar spine and I am scheduled for a new CT scan of the lumbar spine. I want someone to tell me how to get the feeling back in my damned buttocks, legs and feet. Can anyone help me at your organization? Please, reach out to me! I was a competitive disc golfer and bowler until I had this surgery, now I live in shame when I go to a store and lose control of my bowels in public.
