Hi, Two back surgeries and still back radiating pain is a sign of what is called failed back syndrome, which means that either the surgery did not tackle the cause of pain, or the cause has reappeared after the surgery.
In any circumstance, surgery is less likely to be a good option now, the best intervention methods, are control of pain by physiotherapy methods, and if that dosent work, then pain experts intervention in the form of local epidural injections.
