Janene... sounds like a selective nerve root block. Inject local anesthetic to 'block' a nerve and if the pain goes away... the generator is below the block. Sounds like you have a positive diagnostic test. Getting good results to tests like these can lead to a more accurate diagnosis. Good news!

Edit to add... I should have said, "at the area of the block, OR below it."
