Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to lumbar myelopathy or due to the spine issue that you had discussed earlier, however, a neurologist opinion and nerve conduction studies after detailed sensory examination of lower limbs should be performed.
Gabapentin can be helpful for symptomatic relief. Levels for B12, folic acid and D3 may be checked.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
