I am sorry to hear about your struggle with osteoarthritis in the spine. I know from personal and clinical experience how debilitating it can be. Luckily I recently trained a very bright interventional Pain medicine specialist whom is now working At the University of Mississippi medical center. I have attached a link to his information and I know he would be able to assist you.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Medication like methylcobalamine and neurotropic pregabalin will reduce pain.
Epidural injection therapy may help you.
Some exercises which can be done include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
MRI spine will help further.
Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery.
