If I were in your situation I would try my best to get relief. If surgery is the only way to deal with this then it may be your only option. I would get a second and maybe even third opinion though to make sure it won't cause anymore problems.
My mom had a vein problem (deep vein thrombosis, I think) and she ALWAYS had pain in her legs. So she had a massive surgery involving her main veins. To make a long story short, she was out of work recovering for 3-4 months. Yes it was very hard. She had to depend on my dad for everything but I know it brough them closer. And now she can enjoy walking around without pain.
You need to figure out if you'd be able to handle the recovery period. My mom doesn't know that I know but my dad told me she got VERY depressed being bedridden for so long and had to be put on anti-depressants for 6 months. I would definietly say that you'd go through something similar if your recover period will be even longer.
