Yes, see an arthritis SPECIALIST. You may have ankalyosing spondylitis or another spine disease. But see a specialist in arthritis for an opinion.

Yes, along with the pain, it often causes instability and balance, i fracture my lumbar twice and have disc degeneration and arthritis, i have fallen twice both times due to weakness in right leg, all the problems combine together to cause problems, i have found that stretching is the best therapy for me. good luck

PS. My spine dr. told me from the get go that he couldn't fix me 100% but he could fix me 80% and i think he still did pretty good considering i could not even stand straight up, now i can but it's the knee that is giving me the most pain right now.......

Yes, if it is severe enough and the deformity affects the nerves.
