I read carefully your query. You have a degenerative disease of spine which is very common in advanced age,but you should not disturb. First of all you may take some pain killer and should not strain yourself till you be well and than you should do sport like swimming (without gravity) for some months and after some months you will be okay.
Wishing you all best.
