Consult surgeon: It sounds as if you have failed a conservative treatment and have now had progression of your symptoms. Ask your pain management or primary care physician for a referral to a neurosurgeon or ortho spine surgeon . Be sure all your questions are answered so you can make a well informed decision for further treatment. Good luck to you, sir.
