There are a couple of good websites on spinal stenosis, one of them being the Mayo Clinic: mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

It is really great that you have lost weight, but not all conditions are caused by excesses weight. Extra weight can make what is already happening worse, but if the condition causing the pain is caused by something else and that something else is still present, then just losing weight doesn't always take the pain away. So it is a good thing you are going to see a neurologist as they will have the best answers for you.
