Surgery?: This needs specialty care ASAP. You can expect a program of rest and/or exercises and/or physical therapy; or perhaps prompt surgery. Ask your doctor about referral to an orthopedist who specializes in spine disease or a neurosurgeon. If you're having fever, you need care immediately: some cases like this are due to spinal infection that needs emergency surgery and IV antibiotics. Good luck.
