How severe is your problem at present. As per the report, there is compression at the level of L4-L5.
Spine surgery is very common and very safe procedure if done by a trained person.
Next Steps
If the pain is severe and you are not getting relieved by medicines, better to go ahead for surgery.
There are options of endoscopic spine surgery as well these days.
If you have the facility of that at your place, even that can be planned..
