I dont know if u hv tried with consevative tt or not. If u r not having pain radiating to lower limbs u may avoid surgery. Try lumbar traction with mild painkillers followed by back strengthning exercises. For depression along with antidepressants that u might be taking u should go out for walk in morning after backpain subsides.
