pain or weakness in legs...which is worse?

pain or weakness in legs...which is worse?

Hi, I am deciding if i should get my 3rd back surgery in 2 years! The 1st and and were for the L4-L5 herniated dics, and also stenosis. The pain was unbearable in my back and legs before the surgery. Two months out of last years surgery , i noticed that i was getting pain down the back or my butt and legs...dr. did an MRI and found out that the L3-L4 had hernited. i have been living on epidurals for pain, but now it it is more of a sometime "shooting" pain , but a constant extreme weakness. Dr. wants to do another surgery, but i was wondering if pain or weakness in legs ...which is worse?
