Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
Here i understand you have damage in spine with spinal curve loss as well you was operated in 2008 but since then the issues are more and now there is no stability with left ankle as well you also have issue with left sciatic nerve.

Here I suggest you visit spinal surgeon for secondary opinion and then also take suggestion from a good physiotherapist. Here based on current physical evaluation and report they will suggest you conservative management with physio treatment to heal the soft tissue and strengthen the back muscles. Also may need to do some treatment for ankle instability and sciatic nerve pain. You can also use hot and cold pack on your back for some more relief and reduce inflammation.

For major issue like soft (annular) tissue tear(major ) you need to go for surgical repair or immobilisation of spine for giving it time to heal. How ever the treatment will be suggested by spinal surgeon only.

Here I suggest you can also take opinion from two different spinal surgeon to have proper idea on safer treatment planning.

Here I have given you general guideline since I am not able to assess as well see all your past report. But I suggest to follow it step by step and I am sure his will be useful for you.

Take care
