Chronic SI Joint Pain

Did any of the pain blocks work, even for the brief hours after the injection. Did doc#3 plan all of the injection to happen over several months initially, or was he trying to locate the source of the pain.
It might be impossible to remember what happened in the hours following the injections, but I'm wondering if there are multiple sources of pain or if they are needling around to locate the source.
I would be especially curious about L 3-5 medial branch in 2023 and the SI injections.

@gently Pain doctor #3 was trying to locate the source of the pain. May I ask why you're most curious about L3-L5 medial branch blocks in 2023? And no, nothing has worked for me, which is why all surgeons are afraid to do any invasive procedures.
