First try conservative measures like physiotherapy , wearing lumbosacral corset.avoid bending forward and lifting heavy weight. Take tab pregaline and analgesics. If these measures falils then you may need surgery. Please mention canal diameter to comment better. Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
