Hello,
What injections exactly did they gave? Probably steroids may be given locally. Local inflammation or edema may lead to pain. If there is no improvement with steroids then we may try local anesthesia or nerve ablation etc. Please consult with neurosurgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
