Further testing: You didn't specify what type of injections, but commonly, epidural steroid injections are performed for this. If this has failed, a procedure that could help is rf ablation which would numb the sensation aspect of these nerves causing you pain.

Surgery: If you have completed a proper work-up and have failed a reasonable period of conservative care ( at least 6-8 weeks ) and you are in significant pain that prevents you from doing your normal activities, then surgery is an option to discuss with your doctor. Check out spine-health.Com.

Other pain generator: You first have to make sure the pain isn't coming from some other structure. Make sure a good spine specialist evaluates you. Other thing that can mimic radicular pain (that even some spine specialists don't think about): 1) trigger points 2) facet joints 3) sacroiliac joint if definitely the spinal nerves, you can consider pulsed radiofrequency also, get surgery if you need it.
