Hi there!
Well, without knowing the relevant clinical details or a detailed clinical evaluation, it would be difficult to comment on the situation. If the last MRI scan was done over 2 years back a review radiological examination may be suggested, especially in view of the deteriorating symptoms. I would suggest discussing the situation and the suggested management plan in detail with you treating orthopedician.
Hope this is helpful.
