Re-operate?: When a fusion surgery fails, you need to carefully reevaluate the potential causes. Then, with persistent pain, re-operation is often indicated. This has to be done very very carefully and often with a different approach to make sure it fuses correctly. This is a complex problem and is worth a second opinion or evaluation at a tertiary referral center.

Get another opinion: As that is not a diagnosis I have ever heard of and therefore i doubt these injections would be doing anything in the first place.
