Brief Answer:
It could be pinched nerve, nerve block can be repeated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Yes, most likely your symptoms are caused by a pinched or compressed nerve, at the nerve exit from vertebral column or during the nerve pathway.

Evaluation of lumbosacral spinal cord and nerves with MRI is needed first to assess correctly the diagnosis.

Nerve blocks could be repeated up to three times with a time gap of one month, if necessary.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.

Take care.
