100% operation. You need decompression of the spinal canal and root release.

Although no body can predict paralysis but you are definately risking it. If you have radiculopathy and pain. then go for surgery.

The narrowing is quite critical. You are also getting typical symptoms. Your chances of paralysis is minimal but mobility will be restricted by continuing numbness. Therapy may help, but looking at the narrowing, you will ultimately need surgery
