Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Probably they might have gave epidural steroid injection to relieve the inflammation on nerve roots. You may need to undergo surgery but surgery varies from person to person. May be they might have posted for laminectomy or discectomy etc. So please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
