Default back pain after nerve block

Ok, team......I have avoided asking this.....I would prefer to remain in denial (kind of) but I have a question. I had my first sympathetic nerve block in my back on Friday. I was amazed that my back did not hurt at all afterwards. Beginning Saturday evening, I started noticing twinges in my back in the area of my injection. It came and went until today, when I notice it any time I try to bend over or move around. It aches slightly while I'm lying down (nothing severe.....feels like "nerve pain".....like a mild version of when you bump your funny bone).

My GP looked at the injection site today......said it looked fine (but I had broken out in a rash where the bandaid had been). Has anyone else experienced this days after a block??? I am probably being paranoid but I'm scared the RSD is spreading to my injection site. I'm supposed to have my second nerve block Wednesday. There is no redness (except where the bandaid was) and I can't tell if it's hot or not (I feel kind of flushed all over.....been hot/cold all day). Please someone tell me I'm worried for nothing!!
