81 years of age with stents in the heart are not a medical absolute contraindication for surgery. If physiotherapy and other conservative methods have failed, surgery could be the only sensible option. Perhaps the surgery could be done under local anaesthesia + epidural anaesthesia - an experienced surgeon + anaesthetist can guide you. Medications for nerve pain relief can have side effects as well and may not be very effective.
