Default Can I just live with herniated discs?

Hi All,

I've had herniated discs, caused by back injury, for over a year. Conservative treatment has not worked and the pain has started to radiate into the bottom of my left heel. No problems with incontinence, though.

My PT thinks I need surgery. Thing is, after the way I was mistreated by doctors after a serious MVA, I HATE them. I mean, REALLY hate them.

If I don't treat these discs, provided I can suck up the pain, can I just carry on? I'm already disabled and limited, so it's not much of a lifestyle adjustment.
