Hello,
I would explain that surgery would be an option of all the drugs have not shown any efficacy. Anyway, before going o surgery, I would recommend steroid injection in this region, in order to help against the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
