Hello,

Since all that time passed and no improvement with conservative therapy, surgery should be considered. The surgery aims to decompress the nerve and in most cases results in immediate improvement. Discuss with a Neurosurgeon for these issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
