Default 5 years post discectomy/lateral decompression

Hi

5 years post discectomy/lateral decompression L4L5.

I have deteriorated in the last 6 months, to the point where standing doing the dishes is enough to make symptoms worse, I'm not walking as well or as far.

Had an MRI last month, have been asked to go back and see the orthopaedics this time rather than a neurosurgeon.

I'm not in the scream out loud pain I was in last time, thankfully. I am also taking pregabalin again.

Any insights into what my options might be? Don't really want more surgery, however also don't won't to leave it till I could do some serious damage.

Options, leave alone, revision surgery, ?
