Burning nerve pain following severe trauma to foot/ankle

Hi everyone.... I had blockers put in my neck and lower back... now going back to burn the nerve's because it is such a success. It can last i am told from 3 to 18 months or so but i now understand what the pain specialist is talking about that you don't realise how much pain you were in until it is gone.

Can you explain just what it means to have blockers placed in neck/lower back?
I have spinal stenosis and issue in lumbar area of spine, so when pain management doctor recommended injection into the spine, I turned it down. His thoughts included that such a procedure would take care of leg/foot/ankle nerve pain. What the referring neurologist had indicated in the referral sheet was a sympathetic nerve block and when I told him the PM doctor's plan, he agreed with me about not having spinal injection. Unfortunately, the only other PM doctor that is highly recommended is at considerable driving distance, so I cannot go there. So please expand my knowledge, which I'd appreciate. If indeed it can last at least 12 months, I'd consider what you had done. I've had injections (2) into both sides of ankle, and it did barely nothing. Pain was excruciating when anesthetic wore off.
