Not wanting surgery
Brief Answer:
You can try chiropractic.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Chiropractic manipulations are usually temporary effective in improving back pain related to degerative discs disease of the spine, and usually in first stages.
Since injections, physical therapy and medication failed to improve your symptoms, chiropractic manipulation could fail too, but you can try it before deciding about surgery.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
