Try swimming or water classes. They have made a huge difference in my quality of life. Best of luck.

My husband was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease.  He became practically incapacitated.  He started with an injection which really did not help him.

 

He had surgery where they were able to actually widen the spinal canal to relieve the pressure on his cord and nerves.  The pain was completely gone.  Recovery was fairly easy.  He had an outstanding surgeon and care team.

 

If you go the surgical route, just be sure to select a great surgeon.

@CathyNY   He probably had a laminectomy.  I'm glad it worked out for him.
