A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common as we age, to develop wear and tear changes in the lumbosacral spine. Surgical indications might include progressive neurogenic claudication when ambulating, a compressed nerve root associated with accelerating weakness and atrophy, urination problems especially difficulty passing urine, and unrelenting and disabling pain. See a spinal surgeon and see if this is your "cup of tea".
