There is a chance with any block that the local anaesthetic has not met it's target therefore there will be little or no relief
Did you have it done under X-ray Image intensifying?
Possibly you are feeling the pain of the actual procedure (which is a little invasive) that you normally wouldn't feel if the block had worked.
Good luck with the next one
