What helps spinal stenosis besides surgery?

I’m 70 and do not have as complex a picture as yours and mines in my lumbar spine. Big difference is I have pain and spasms and PN. At 78 if I lived a full life and I’m in no pain I’d not opt for surgery. My docs offered to remove my stainless steel implants and replace with titanium cages. No thank you as I’ve had enough severe pain in my last 40 years

I have pain 24/7. The worst is the neck spasms and the occipital neuralgia. I’ve already lost reflexes on my left side. If I don’t have surgery to repair the stenosis my future is a wheelchair, incontinence and continuing pain. I’m opting for surgery. At 60 I have a lot more living to do, I hope. Nobody’s promised tomorrow
