Hello and welcome to " Ask a Doctor" service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

Since your walk is getting worse, you should have surgery.

This to prevent worsening, and to give you a chance to improve.

Discuss with the Neurosurgeon.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
