Hi,
Disc prolapse causing stenosis is common. Many times it resolves itself with physiotherapy. However, sometimes it may not resolve with drugs and physiotherapy was then we need to go for surgery. So same is your case if your pain is not controlled with all these things, then I think it's better to go for surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
