Hi,
Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below-:
1)Please do a fresh MRI to ruled out any pathological changes after surgical treatment
2)Steroid is not a permanent solution for pain ,Try to know the reason behind pain and treat that reason only.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
