What Causes Backache And Dizziness While Suffering From Spinal Stenosis?

Hi, Iam a 59 yrs old woman and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis on all 3 levels. I am experiencing Mid Back pain, dizziness and a difference in walking....range of movement. Legs are not as easy to move anymore. Iam finding myself not lifting my feet properly causing me to lose balance quite a bit. Are these signs that I should be considering surgery soon? What can I do to slow down the process of it getting worse? Or perhaps even avoid having to do surgery.
