UGH! People can really SUCK (well, mostly when they're a part of a bureaucracy). STAND UP TO THEM! Tell them you're worried about the long-term effects of steroid injections on your bones and your mood. ("if you give me one more steroid, I'm gonna Hulk out on you and you'll REGRET it!") lol. Have you looked into LDN?
www.lowdosenaltrexone.org - it's totally worth researching, especially since you're doing SO much for your pain right now and getting little relief. That's where I was at when I tried it and I've never gone back. LDN is my miracle. Steroid shots have backfired for me in the past, and that is such an awful feeling - it's already inside you and you can't get rid of it.
Remember - the doctors work for YOU. You are paying their wage! Make them earn it.
