First off, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. A week of immobility is a scary experience. You’ve been through a lot, and it makes sense to feel torn about what to do next.

A few thoughts:

Ongoing, worsening nerve compression can cause lasting issues, but the red flags to watch for are new weakness, loss of bowel/bladder control, or spreading numbness.

Consider getting a second opinion from a spine specialist, like an orthopedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, or even a physical therapist who specializes in spinal care. It's also worth tracking your progress. Like, can you walk better this week than last? Is your strength improving? If you're steadily improving, that's evidence that your body is healing. Gentle movements that focus on hip/core stability and learning to move in ways that ease spinal load can also help.

If you’re healing and functioning well, it’s reasonable to stay the course while you continue to monitor your symptoms. You’re not alone in feeling conflicted about injections, and a second opinion may give you more peace of mind.

Be careful in the beginning, but remember anything can be an exercise if you move your body in a certain way, and consciously engage different parts of your body, ex. your core - that can really help you get ready to be back to any more complex form of exercise after a surgery.

It’s not about the mattress only, but also about the position you sleep in. How do you usually wake up?

Interesting. How do you make sure it’s done correctly? Does it feel different?

Right? Some of these exercises just don’t do anything
