Meralgia parestetica six months, i've tried both lyrica, (pregabalin) gabapentin, would like nerve block, is this something i can book with a pain clinic directly?

Yes and: the nerve blockage may confirm the diagnosis. But, your pain doctor may have another consideration after the interview and physical examination. It is good to see your doctor without bring your diagnosis idea.
