Consider Dr Staner in Birmingham. Performed a " microdiscectomy" on me and the relief was immediate.  Goes in through about a one inch incision and uses a microscope and micro tools to trim away the offending disc matter.  Mine took a little longer because the disc matter was wound around the nerve.  I also have stenosis but fortunately so far it isn't bad enough to warrant surgery.

Make sure whoever you choose has a reputation for excellence. My son had a back surgery that was really botched and he has been in pain for about 20 years or more.  Even a Staner can't help him.
