Hello,
I suggest you to consult a neurologist and neurosurgeon for clinical assessment. Since, the discs are damaged to an extent that it may obstruct the flow of spinal fluid, surgical intervention may be required. The surgery is safe with negligible side effects. You can safely go for surgery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
