I learned a bunch of good exercises and use them to this day and have no back problems and pain only when I try and lift something that is extremely heavy (like say a 30 inch tv :happysad: )

Surgery should not be an option unless it is something that cannot be cured otherwise and after rehab has been given a chance. I wouldn't do the shots at all. Too many adverse side effects. Get a second opinion for sure, if not even a third or fourth.
