Has anyone dealt successfully with Cervical stenosis without surgery?

From spine X-rays, MRI, lumbar nerve test and a few shots in lumbar they could not confirm Radiculopothy.
It was the Orthopedic that confirmed Spinal Stenosis and mild Scoliosis and sent me to Physical Therapy where the Physical Therapist noted Radiculopothy.
Because I have had this numbing, burning, stabbing aching in my left thigh for 10+ years but has no idea what it was-I trusted those medically to tell me I was anxious to do the Physical Therapy but it just causes more discomfort as far as numbness, stabbing and burning.
Is it possible to get rid of the left thigh pain with surgery after 10+ years?

@notsureabout If this is not radiculopathy, it may be myelopathy which is spinal cord compression. I did not have radiculopathy, and I did have a compressed spinal cord in my neck. Surgeons kept missing the correct diagnosis. Here is medical literature that may help. It changed the course of my spine journey and brought me to a resolution after spine surgery.

Have your doctors done any MRI imaging in your neck or thoracic spine? I think that they should.
