Has anyone had nerve blockers ? My doctor says we should try this for L4 L5 S1. Had cortisone shot which caused a worse pain as it was happening- the pain that was worse in the calf that day shot down the leg, up to the thigh and then returned to the calf worse than ever. Had cortisone with epidural and no better. Now going to give nerve blocking a try. Opinions please?

I am going to ask for a nerve block also. The epidural didn't do much. Good luck to us both !
