I believe in your case you could consider a very minimal endoscopic decompression. You should exhaust all conservative measures first. Injections, PT, etc. In other words do the minimal since you are not that bad. It is a difficult decision but if you have exhausted all conservative measures and can find a good surgeon it might be worth it.
