Gil:
Any pain relief yet from the nerve blocks? Have they said anything about the possibility of SI Joint injections with you? That kind of pain is localized at the base of the spine and then radiates downward.
It has always taken up to a two - three week period of time to get any pain relief from the injections. I got SI joint injections prior to going to Minnesota for Christmas and it took all of three weeks before the pain relief set in. I am still feeling pretty good from those injections.
Hang in there.
