Hi,
Unfortunately surgery is the only option to recover. The more delay you have in getting surgery done, the lesser the chances of having a good prognosis. The medications like Pregabalin and Gabapentin can only afford a temporary relief. Surgery is the definite thing but recovery depends on the degree of damage to the nerves and the amount of spared cord. I would highly suggest you to come to terms with the surgery and enquire about more details from your physician.
