Overweight back pain and back issues

hi, i hope u can help,
I’m a 26 yr old male and overweight. for years i have suffered from back pain, it got so bad that i had an operation in July 2009 which was to shave my L4 and L5 discs as they were bulging. unfortunately the operation was not successful and I’m still in pain. i also received a cortisone shot about 2 weeks ago which has had no affect. i regularly do stretching exercises to loosen the lumbar region. i have also tried massage therapy/physio hot/cold patches. nothing seems to work i was thinking about t.e.n.s or a magnetic lumbar support but don’t know if they are a waste of money. my doc now wants to give me another operation which i don’t want do please help me.
