Asked for Male, 29 Years

I have lumbar spinal stenosis. I have multiple disc bulges and protrusion from L1-L5. The least diameter between disc is 0.65cms. I have numbness in my right foot and my legs are weak , I guess it's called drop foot . I have claudication when I walk for few distances .My back pain is reduced through medicines but my numbness and drop foot is making my daily activities worse . What should I do ? Should I opt for surgery ? Please help..
