If I go with this new doctor, the old doctor will drop me and I won't get any more pain meds as the new doctor is not a pain manager and refuses to give medications (????!!!!)

Have you fully researched these procedures, GJ? That is what I would do first, and make a decision on your options. If you decide to do the procedure(s), then switch to the new guy.

I know how difficult back problems can be, but fortunately I have only suffered for periods of time (not years!) when things are really rough. Four years is too long to keep going living like this, I think.
