Issue may be deeper: the pain may be originating from a deeper source physically and that is why the nerve blocks may not be working. Botox injections may help? I always suggest meditation-deep-slow breathing- also for pain. It helps stimulate parasympathetic nerve system which stimulates GABA and endorphin production leading to better pain control.
