If I am you, I honestly would seriously consider surgery option given that it has been a while & the leg showing some neural deficit.
Though I think the important step is to find a competent & responsible surgeon. A disc surgery make a huge profit, and not many will treat patient with care instead of just an income source.
There is the handy list of about surgery & questions to ask spinal surgeon:

If you can afford it, I would also recommend checking out Dr Nathaniel L. Tindel, MD. He authored this book about surgery and seems to be an honest & competent doc: https://www.amazon.com/Ive-Got-Your-Back-Straight-ebook/dp/B007BKQQD2/
*Whether or not you decide to go ahead with surgery, I would still suggest you have a 2-4 hours movement assessment section with a McGill method provider. They can assess your movement pattern & give you advices about the mechanical flaw that either stop your disc from healing, or may cause you future trouble.
The list is in www.backfitpro.com/backpain/provider/. If you can go to Canada, I think Edward Cambridge is the best option. He was McGill's graduate student & has won some award in spine research. Just to be warn that he has a long list of patients & appointment with him can take as long as 3 months.
