Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned to a present MRI scan to know the current status and you are taking right medications. If you have no clinical sign except pain now then you may be advised for physiotherapy for few weeks which will control your discomfort if not done after surgical procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
