Facet Joint Injections - Anyone had success?

I just had six facet joint injections, three on each side of my spine. Four of the shots were at the L3-L4-L5 position. Two were in the upper back. After 24 hours there has been not relief. These injections were the means to locate the precise location of the pain, after which an ablation would be performed. Does anyone know the next steps to resolving my pain up to but not including a pain stimulator.
Thanks
George

My pain is just above the waistline about four inches from the spine on the left and right sides. On the right side the pain extends to the groin area. I was just looking up pain related to this area(s) and found this.
Sacroiliitis is inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, which are some of the largest joints in the body, and can cause pain in the lower back and buttocks. Pain from sacroiliitis can be felt on one or both sides of the body, and it may be accompanied by stiffness or weakness. This pain can also go to the groin.
I have an appointment tomorrow to discuss the negative results of the injections
