Margiewoods 51111, remedy depends on what is causing the stenosis and how severe it is. There are minimally invasive surgeries laminectomy or microdiscectomy, nucleoplasty that might be advantageous especially with the increased stability below. If you don't have your MRI, it would be best to get it for the description of what is causing the narrowing. In some cases injections are appropriate.
You might want a second opinion.

There are nerve stimulators that can be implanted which might be worth learning about. I, too, am fused from L2 to L5. Now I have significant pain from L5-S1 and from both S-I joints. Those are the only remaining areas that can move in my lower back. Find a neurosurgeon you trust and ask about a spinal nerve stimulator. I think it would be worth asking about. Good luck and I'm sorry you are in so much pain.
