Suggest Treatment For Osteoarthritis On Lower Back

Dear Doctors,

I thank God and you all for giving us this website.
I am diagnosed with oseoarthritis on my lower back. it hurts all the time esp when i am slouching. i can't wash clothes anymore. because it needs a sitting down position. I was given the list for proper positions, but I can't adhere to them. Also my fingers are numb and shoulders will be painful when i do household chores with pressure.
Is my back pain qualified to be operated on or will it be healed?
Thank you and may our God bless you.
