Hi,
Thank you for posting the query.
The reasons to choose a type of surgery is best answered by the treating surgeon. However, at this point, you are in pain, and we need to address that. You would immensely benefit from medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin. In addition, physiotherapy would also help.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
