While it's not my spine, I'd hesitate to regard the steroid injections as anything more than a way to control pain and numbness while you looked for a more permanent solution. Too many injections can actually weaken the connective tissue in the area and cause more problems down the road. I don't mean to keep pushing you to surgery but I'm afraid that the temporary care options you're being offered are buying time now at the expense of more problems in the future.
