See pain doc: If you have taken Percocet for 9 years and are getting worse i would see a pain specialist. Not all injections work (and not all pain doctors do the same injections).

Get a diagnosis: Taking narcotic medications for pain chronically without diagnosis is simply asking for tolerance and addiction issues. Obviously, if you've had this pain 9-10 years it's not serious or it would have surfaced by now. On the other hand, you may have a problem that is treatable—nonsurgical or surgical. So see a spine doc or pain/rehab doc and get a diagnosis and determine if treatment options exist.
