Multiple quest regarding current/past MRI, SPECT Scan 2015 & where to go from here?

[AzDiamond]

In Nov 2015, I was scheduled for anterior lumbar interbody fusion @L5-S1 (possible both L4-L5 & L5-S1 when he actually got in there, based on MRI & SPEC SCAN study)  I canceled the surgery, due to my husbands work (in AZ), had not paid our insurance (or medical bills) in 2+ years (& paychecks were bouncing), & currently he had accepted a good job with guaranteed insurance & PAY in NorCali .  I did not think it would be a "big deal" to find a doctor and pick up where I was leaving off.  Now June 2017, I have seen numerous doctors, locally and SanFran. 2 Doc here think, I need 1 if not 2 disks replace.  San Fran doctor was a joke.  I just had a new MRI that reads as followed....my questions are.... I am in constant pain (7 to 9.5 is an average day w/meds), loss of most feeling in my right/left leg & foot. I trip, I fall...stabbing pains, you name it, I have it!  I wake up most nights screaming with the pain, just to give you an idea.  MRI 5-13-2017  L3-L4....The AP dimensions of the thecal sac in midline is roughly 10.5mm.  No significant neural foraminal stenosis is noted. L4-L5 demonstrates roughly 3mm of retrolisthesis relative to L5.  THe L4-L5 disc demonstrates mild desiccation and minimal loss of height.  There is a cental disc protrusion that is also extruded to the level of the superior endplate of L5.  The AP dimension of the disc material measures from the posterior aspect of the superior plate of L5 is roughly 4.5mm.  The disc material measures roughly 11mm in transverse dimension.  It touches and produces flatting of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac.  This is at the level of origin of both L5 nerve roots seleves.  Both are minimally flattened as the emerge from the thecal sac.  The AP dimensions of the thecal sac is midline is roughly 7.5mm.  This is stable in appearance compared to the prior examination.  The L4-L5 level also demostrates mild ligamentous & facet hypertrophy.  This contributes to mild bilateral neural foraminal stenoses, stable compared to the prior exam.  L5-S1 demonstrates roughly 3mm of retrolisthese relative to S1.  This is stable.  As noted above, Modic type I changes along the endplates appear stable.  There is oderate desiccation and loss of height of the disc, similar compared to prior examination.  A circumferential bony ridge and disc bulge are noted.  There is a central disc protrusion and extrusion with the extruded component extending to the superior endplate of S1 is roughly 6mm.  The disc protrusion touchs and produces flattening of the S1 nerve root sleeve as they transit between the thecal sac into the neural foramen.  This is more pronounced on the left where the degree of flattening appears moderate compared to the right where the degree of flatting appears mild.  There is no significant flattening of the thecal sac, and there does appear to be signigicant central canal stenosis.  Neural foraminal stenoses are mild bilaterally.  Impression:  Stable appearance of the disc protrusions at -L5 & L5-S1.  Stable Modic type I changes @L5-S1.  Modic type I changes are most often sterile with vascular granulation tissue producing the endplate edema.  Some patients with Modic type I changes ultimately demonstrate chronic discitis or osteomyelitis with low virulence pathogens.   Back to the original question, my family practitioner today said, I was getting better?  I have reached out to my Neurosurgeon in AZ & awaiting a call from another surgeon 3 hours from here.  What does this all mean? How am I getting better?  Why is the pain and loss of use, getting rapidly worse?  I do know a good surgeon will read their own MRI, etc.  and it appears that this radiologist did a decent job, but this was nothing in comparison to my first MRI or SPECT Scan in 2015.  Where do I go from here?  Thank You Very much for your time!!!  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
