I too had years of this. Saw Dr. Dan Spurrier, Neurosurgeon on Old Camp Rd. Excellant physician...won't jump into surgery unless other things are pursued. I had steroid shots but then had his non-evasive surgery and it went VERY well. Give him a call for at least a consultation. Oh...and everyone I'd talked to in the hospital and elsewhere who knew of him also gave VERY positive comments.
By the time I had surgery it had ruptured! I'd done everything first, NOT to have surgery! Exercise, chiropractic, P.T. etc. This was very much a last resort thing we did for it. With mine...I was told Pilates etc. would only exacerbate the issue...and this came from MORE than one source!!
