Hi there the block not giving you any relief is a good thing - if I am understanding you correctly as in my case it was NOT my pain generator.
I have heard good things about Dr Bitan - do let us know what he has to say on you.
As to paying for surgery in Germany we did that as back then I could not keep waiting longer & it was 04 & not FDA approved here yet. However, with that said now i am facing a need with my Cervical and it is awfully hard to pull more money back out of the hat as we are older & jobs the economy - 2 kids in college we are paying for etc. So getting insurance to pay is a must for me - I am facing at least 2 levels for sure possibly 3 TBD by discogram for the 3rd.
Due to being more than one level some doc's here say they cant do anything but a fusion as not a single ADR so I am still looking as i would like at least 2 concurring opinions.
