Hello,
Since you have diffuse spinal stenosis that is a sign you should have a surgery even sort of emergent as it may cause you paralysis. If you have uncontrolled urination, which is even a worse sign for which you should go right away in the operating room. I think it is question of time rather will you do or not the surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Valbona Selmani
