Yes, me too. Went through the whole progression of PT, meds, shots and finally surgery. Only 6 years later and I am doing pretty well.

You don't want all the details, but I am very careful of lifting, posture, regular back and core exercises etc. And I outsource really tough chores, 'cause I can afford it now. These things do tend to ebb and flow, so hang in there.

BTW, IMO docs are very much hammer-and-nail for back pain. PT's think that is the answer. Physical med guy says injections, surgeons like to do their thing. PCP like to prescribe. Do you own research but be careful about whack-o claims and discoveries. Be skeptical.
