Brief Answer:
Relaxation physiotherapy with ortho opinion
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using Hcm.
Spinal block before 2 months is more unlikely to give pain for such a long time.
It is given to reduce the pain ,not to induce.
Most of the people have a false notion regarding this,thinking the injection is given in the bone.
The newer spinal needles are very very thin gauged,hardly causing any trauma or pain.
If you still feel the pain is persistent,then go for alternative cold and warm compression on that area,with local application of pain relieving gel.
Slow lumbar relaxation exercises will help.
Do not worry ,you can carry on with your daily activities.
Or please consult with any orthopedic surgeon to rule out with any evolving or previous disc problems,with MRI of the lumbosacral spine.
Kindly get back for any related doubts.
All the best.take care
