Hello,
I think you should do am an x-ray of the sacral spine or better an MRI of the sacral spinal nerves to see the conditions of bones and nerves in this region and also to determine an exact diagnosis.
The corticosteroid injections you are doing in the spine reduce the inflammation and pressure and reducing pain at the same time. Surgery may be the definitive treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
