Two options: You can choose to live with the symptoms & their restrictions & use a cane or walker if lumbar region assuming you have failed all treatment methods: medication, physical therapy, a 0 degree lordosis back support & epidural steroid injections which also applies for the neck but instead of the back support you can wear a soft collar backwards. Surgery is an option if medically stable & indicated.

There are choices.: 1st review all that has been done in the past to make sure you are well educated in the best "exercises", home modalities (ice, tens etc) and medications for you. Then if injections don't add relief, there are excellent surgical options. There are procedures to modulate pain, involving implanting a small device that are worth considering. Consult a spine surgeon or interventional pain specialist.
