Too Vague: Unfortunately it is difficult to advise you of anything given what you've shared. I'd suggest discussing your options and your concerns about proceeding with surgery. There are a lot of treatment options but they all depend on your particular situation.

Second opinion: If you have already undergone epidural steroid injections with no relief, it is fairly unlikely more injections will be helpful unless perhaps a different technique is used. You might consider getting a second opinion if the treatments you are having is ineffective and no other treatment options have been offered.
