Hi,
Most of the symptoms are due to the nerve compression or cord compression if any. You should explore the option of surgery at the earliest as the prognosis will be better than when you are delaying the surgery. Also with good and regular physical therapy you will be able to retain some of the former strength depending upon a few parameters of how compressed the nerves were prior to surgery.
