Have few questions- if you have tried conservative treatment of not in form of rest , lifestyle modification , precautions to be taken , physiotherapy and medication ?
If still not recovered after 6 weeks of proper conservative trial then take opinion for surgery .
Still manageable with conservative treatment. But difficult to follow .

Your height weight?
I will advise for conservative management, some medications and exercise and fomentation.
If you won't respond to conservative management, I would suggest nerve root block L4-5 L5-S1, MOST OF THE PATIENTS DO WELL AFTER Block.
When all these fail then only I'll advise you surgery as your spinal canal has sufficient room for nerves.
Hope for the best.
