Brief Answer:
There is not much that can be done at this point of time.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the details and understand your concerns. It seems that the compression on the spinal nerves had already caused considerable damage to the nerves by the time the surgery was done. The problem has worsened over these years and although you can still visit your surgeon, I doubt whether he would be able to help. The damage has already occurred and there is not much that any doctor can do at this point. Sorry for disappointing you but you would need to accept and readapt to the present situation.
Regards
