Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Spinal Stenosis

My wife was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and was operated on on 10/12/2012 when the back portions of three of her vertebra were removed and she has been in severe pain ever since. She is about at her wits end. She has had spinal injections, taking Lyrica and now Celebrex and Zolpidem. She can only walk about 100 yards and even that is not without pain. She has to use ice on and off all of her time awake. She is also a diabetic. Don t know what to do.
