Hello
Your symptoms may be related to nerve root compression in lumbar region.
It is important to relieve compression as you have neurological symptoms
due to compression.
You may need surgical intervention.It is not clear in your query that compression is due to disc or osteophytes etc.
Now a days,surgery is preferably done by endoscopic method.It is done as day care basis and it is a minimal invasive surgery.
I suggest to consult neurosurgeon for detail evaluation.
Get well soon.
Take Care
