Sometimes injections don't work for some patients. Surgery may be the next option. I assume you are seeing a pain management or sports rehab doctor. I recommend you see an orthopedic medical specialist instead for your condition and have them perform a diagnostic test. That way, you can find out the nature & extent of the problem and a treatment plan can be formed.

Good luck.
