Interpreting results of these types of injections can be difficult. Sometimes we get very clear results (like you saying that one of your pains is just gone.) Other times, you'll get mixed results. Mixed results make sense because with years of DDD, you likely have multiple pain generators and it's unlikely to have a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure that will address all of them. The trick is in identifying the worst pain generators... If you can fix the worst ones, your life will improve. If you fix a pain generator that is ranked 3rd, leaving the worst 2 in place, your life won't change much.
Having "no pain at all" is something that a few of us are lucky enough to get. Being able to have a life is the goal. Pain free would be gravy.
