Ok, so I had my nerve blcok yesterday. I am doing pretty well. The pain has dropped significantly, however, not completely gone. I have muscle spasms/contractions (extreme) from my back down to below my knee into my calf.

My knee is still giving off twinges, and more than twinges, but I haven't doubled over in pain and crying since coming home yesterday.

I am still taking all my meds, per the doc. The soma is helping the muscle contractions and hopefully when the muscles relax, I can experience the true benefit from this procedure.

Couple of questions though:
1. If I was to experience relief that would last me, would there be no pain there now?
2. How long should the muscles contract for?
3. Should I be having sensitivity to touch in my hip by my hip bone?

Any answers would be great.
