Hello,The nerve pain you are experiencing can be physically and mentally draining. I understand the state of mind and body it has put you in. I would continue with steroid injections and regular exercise (preferably taught to you by a physical therapist). These two can do wonders. But, and it sounds like you have already been doing those, they don't always get rid of the pain. If you are in relatively good shape, I would seek out a surgeon. You definitely qualify. You have tried all other options, and you have an obvious history of the injury. Back surgery is NO LONGER the horror that it was once thought of being. Just be sure to see several surgeons if you decide to do this, and pick the one that you feel most confident with. Without surgery, there is unfortunately little to be done other than what was mentioned prior. Have you tried a Pain Management spesensoredt (a field in medicine). This is the best alternative to surgery. It, unfortunately, isn't enough to periodically see a general MD about this matter. Pain Management spesensoredt are excellent with helping you get your quality of life back. Good luck.
