There's a lot of stuff in your post. I had a disc out (L4/5) because it was ruptured. Nothing works for nerve root pain, but opiates do for a while. If you have to do with a tens machine it might be worth, strictly in the long term, to think about where you can get *therapeutic* Pilates. I think it's great, but there are no guarantees. I found back pain depressing in itself. It felt like my life was always going to be like this. Dilaudid sounds like the shot (for everything while it works). I would imagine that you need pain relief and freedom from further drug problems, but.....hmmmm..... All the best though,
