Hello,
Dilip ji it will be good if you can send me MRI of the spine so I can offer you better advise. Thecal compression is initial stage and patient usually responds well to physiotherapy.
I would recommend you to avoid weight lifting and forward bending. Avoid jerky activities, driving for long time .
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
