Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Chronic low back pain is really bothersome problem. If You have undergone conservative management for 1 year and still the pain is not relieving then surgery is the only option left. For your kind information, the surgery is a pretty simple one and really give good result in expert hand. Keyhole surgery is also available but rather costly while giving similar result as conventional method. Yntil then, take intermittent rest(in occasion of extreme pain), take paracetamol 1 gm twice or thrice daily, give hot comprssion, and have some postural modifications.
