Please see a doctor in person. Your situation is a bit too complex for a message board.

Based on your post, it appears the main problem involves spinal cord compression secondary to anatomical abnormalities. This is a situation that needs immediate evaluation by a spinal surgeon, as further neurological deterioration is possible. This is NOT ALS!!
