Neurologist, Surgical,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If your symptoms are worsening and physical therapy doesn't work, you can try NSAID drugs (if you didn't and your heart condition permits the use). In case NSAID drugs fail to improve your condition, I suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon and to discus the possibility of decompressive surgery of stenosis, because progression of stenosis may lead to permanent neurologic damage. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
