Treatment pathway : For your condition involves 5 things: 1. Medications 2. Physical therapy/manual therapy 3. Injections 4. Surgery 5. Spinal cord stimulation i would absolutely exhaust the top three before considering 4 or 5. There's at least 85% chance that it will go away on it's own with little pain control and pt.
