Sorry for the pain and discomfort you are in.
I know for I have almost the same issues.
I just saw an orthopedic specialist that is expert in the neck and lumbar spine.
I have even seen a neurosurgeon.

Well, long story short, since I have done the conservative route with my lumbar, I had to have a laminectomy and fusion done on my L4-L5.

With my neck, I'm ready for injections. Ortho and Neuro stated candidate for surgery.

Have you had injections, and if so, how many have you had. Ortho said I will have a series of shots within several weeks.

I'm a bit nervous.

Praying you find relief and that you pain subsides to a bearable level, or better yet, gone all together.

Take care
