Hello,
Surgery is usually indicated in case of urinary incontinence/decreased limb sensation or weakness in the limb. However as your problem is at three different levels id suggest you to go n see a neurosurgeon so that MRI scanning is done and the area of problem is localized.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
