Is this common, what do you suggest.
Hi there. There are various nerve blocks done like therapeutic nerve block to treat painful conditions where local anesthetic is injected to control acute pain. The effect may have worn off that’s why the pain has returned. Review with your pain physician instead of getting concerned. Take care.
