Which specialist for a back surgery.

I am pretty certain I am headed for lower back surgery....bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and a cyst...but have been told both ways...should I go to a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon? I have no pain when I sit or lay down, but I wobble like a duck so walking is very painful. I have already had two hips and a knee replaced, as well as 3 fusions in the upper part of my neck.

If I knew for certain the back surgery would improve my wobble and balance, I would do it, but I have had severe nerve damage in the one leg that one of the hips was replaced...this surgeon also put the joint in on a 30 degree angle and my other one is in straight! No one can seem to tell me just WHAT is causing my wobble!

Any and all help is appreciated...it would be more I am getting here!
