Has anyone ever had a lumbar nerve block?

I have had SI joint injections without any systemic anesthesia (only local given) which hurt but was bearable (pretty much anyways…, had 3 of these).

Now I am scheduled to have a lumbar nerve block under systemic anesthesia (versed). Has anyone had experience with this? How much does it really hurt?




can a pinched nerve in the lower back region effect more than just your back and leg muscle?

I seem to have possibly pinched a lumbar nerve, and have pain in the lower left abdominal quadrant…
