Spine Surgeon 's  Response
You have two options remaining. You may go for local injections like Epidural Steroid Injections,Selective Nerve Root Blocks (SNRB) and Facet Joint Injections,
Facet Rhizotomy and Sacroiliac Joint Block Injections. These are given by specialised anesthetists dealing with pain management. If these fail and/or you are apparently healthy to bear an anesthesia (as decided by anesthetist) you may undergo surgery.You consult an spine specialist and/or pain clinic. Do not give hope.
