Not enough info!: You do not say what treatments you have tried already, or what your other medical problems are. You need to see an orthopedist or neurosurgeon that treats low back pain and discuss all your options. There are ways to minimize your symptoms in some cases. if you are overweight, losing weight helps. There are other non-surgical and non-drug options for back pain, which can help in some cases.
