Hi there. I understand your predicament, canal stenosis in lumbosacral region results in radicular pain, neurogenic claudication or both. Lateral canal stenosis leads to nerve root compression, radicular pain, weakness and numbness along the affected nerve distribution. the claudication could be responsible for cyanosis of the nail bed. The bowel and bladder symptoms may be due to myelopathy. Treatment may be conservative or surgical, conservative includes physical therapy with strengthening exercises for paraspinal musculature, bracing, use of optimal biomechanics, NSAIDs, analgesics, antispasmodics,etc. surgical decompression is indicated for people incapacitated with pain, claudication, neurological deficit, or myelopathy. you need to consult a neurosurgeon on the possibility of surgical decompression but prior to that the shortness of breath needs to be checked for a cardiac or lung pathology. Hope this helps. Take care.
