Hello,
Chronic neck and back pain are due to spinal stenosis that you are already diagnosed with. You can take NSAIDS, one SOS when needed for relief. You are suggested to get connected to a physiotherapist. Exercises and hot and cold compression are effective. Developing heaviness and tingling in the legs is indicative of PAD or peripheral neuropathy.
Take food rich in vitamin B6 and B12 or you can take supplements. Cut on salt intake, stay away from salty food. If diabetic, control your blood glucose levels at all cost. Visit a neurologist, get clinically examined and get all nerve conduction tests done.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
