Hi,
You are having sharp pain because of nerve compression.
The surgery is advisable in your case like that of laminotomy and required other surgery. Until then you can be prescribed pregabalin or gabapentin like medication for neuropathic pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
