Severe Pain While Moving Due To L4/5 Central Canal Stenosis Due To Annular Disc Bulge And Shallow Central Disc Protusion.

My recent CT Scan revealed- Mild-moderate L4/5 central canal stenosis due to the annular disc bulge and shallow central disc protusion, and to a lesser degree ligamentum flavum thickening.
I have had a few episodes of extreme pain where I cannot move and feel like my legs wont move- the pain is high and frightening.
