HI

I really appreciate your concern, given report is suggestive of spinal degenerative disease and it might caused the stenosis, some time it could be surgical condition and for that you need to have neurosurgeon opinion, till then it can be managed on conservative manner hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
