If anyone with lumbar stenosis they've had for over 5 years?

I have had severe lumbar stenosis and a slipped disc for over 8 years. It was deemed "severe" in 2018, so was there long before 2018. I have put off surgery all these years, but trips to the ER are becoming more frequent. I plan to have surgery this summer.

What do you go to the ER for, I mean what kind of pain or what happens that you go to the er? I've never gone to the ER even though I have severe throbbing in my calf muscles if I walk too much and walking too much can be just six blocks without sitting. I just don't want to end up worse off even though my life is fairly compromised. So I wouldn't go to the ER cuz I don't know what they could do for me for throbbing calf muscles. I was once given that blister pack or whatever you call it when I was in Europe for a conference and my legs were hurting but it didn't help at all.
