Default Is it time for surgery

I have cervical stenosis DDD and myelopathy. My arms and hand are getting bad and painful. I just started getting weakness in my legs with electric shocks in my legs. My balance is not as good as before but I can manage on pain pills. I had steroidal ejections in June and it really help. Arm and hand problems went away. I thought I was going to get more shots and the NS said no more shots for me I am test positive for myelopathy and need to have surgery immediately. He ordered and emergency MRI. He wants to do a acdf and accf. He wants to take marrow from my hip and mix with cadaver.

He said if I wait in surgey I risks permant paralysis. Any thought as too options if I should have surgery or wait awhile.
Thanks Rhonda
