Hi I am a newbie

I am 52yrs old woman who is having to come to terms with the fact that I can no longer do the job I love due to my prolapsed disc and facet joint problem🙁 I have had injections for the last 4 years then in march I had radio frequency nerve block but nothing has helped and now I don't know what else to do. I am on tapentadol meloxicam and fluoxetine which make things just about bearable but now it's he psychological side that's getting me down. I can't have any more time off work as I will only get half pay which adds more problems. Can anyone help or tell me about their experience of surgery ?
