Hi, If you have already seen a spine surgeon and he concurs with the treatment it is the right way to go. If not, I suggest you consult with a spine surgeon and get MRI done and if his opinion is along the lines of those with the pain management doctor, then definitely it is worth giving a shot. Meanwhile I would suggest you to explore physical therapy as well with ultrasonography and interference therapy, you will get a temporary relief. It can be done for 1-2 weeks.
