My entire spine is Degenerative, Stenosis, bulges, spurs, herniation, stress fracture, annular tears, Profusions, and collapsed dics and calcified Lumbar, It is NOT operable, it will crumble due to the OP severity caused by the Nerve Blocs, Predisone, and Steroids, Predisone is the only 1 that actually works on Hives. Rest are Side effects, depending on if it is Celestone which is a 2 week horrid reaction, to Medrol based which is 4 days. NO pain relieve. Back doc got from C 3 down to S 1 and the tail bone. I furniture walk in the house. Use electric cart at the grocery store, other than going to the doctors and grocery store I’m house bound. And at 71 I have frequent FALLS. That is WHAT Your ATTITUDE condemns me to. I do all I can to maintain weight, and function, it’s taken me 2 yrs to partially rehab my hand from the Frozen thumb with a Mallet Index finger, so NO fine motor skills in my dominate R. Hand. Hate to think what you view of Autoimmune is?
It certainly sounds like you are suffering. It also sounds like you are seriously disabled. Are you getting the kind of assistance you really need? If you are falling you really do need some help.
