My own experience (which is but one) was that they carried out a spinal decompression op. - removing bone spurs, trimming discs etc. This removes sources of pressure on the main spinal cord nerve and (at least) stops things getting worse. But it may also stop some of the symptoms/effects you are experiencing, not necessarily, it depends on extent to which spinal cord itself has suffered injury. In this reply, I'm being cautious. I was having bowel probs - the pressure was lower in my back than yours - and the op. stopped that - thank heavens - but mobility problems and neuropathic pain remained. The op. itself was no problem, recovery time short. Hope it works well for you.
