Had a nerve block in may. woke up during procedure groaning in pain. have never been pain free since. what happened?

Possibilities.: It can depend on what kind of nerve block, whether you moved during the procedure, and original cause of the nerve pain. Nerve blocks do not work for all pain, and if you moved it may not have hit the right spot. Some nerve blocks require time to begin to work well
