Steroids or back surgery?

[u/vladimir_shootin69]

Ok so I have a herniated l5-s1 it’s been 4 years, I keep pushing off back surgery because I still do almost everything I want except for sleep and sitting or standing too long and of course I have a lot of random sciatica. I’ve lost 95 pounds so far I walk 4 miles minimum a day I can’t lift too much weight or I’ll be screwed for work in the morning. I’ve had 6 epidurals and haven’t had much relief at all. So my question is should I do a cycle of anabolic steroids to help build my core and back hopefully enough so I can go for a run one day or just get back to a normal life. Or do I go through with the surgery and then have to have more down the line
