Hi,

Without an exam, I can only give general information. AND it depends a lot on where the nerve block was. If it is where the pain starts, well, that would imply an effect of the shot like hitting a nerve. If the shot was in the back and the symptoms are in the neck, however, it COULD be a leak of spinal fluid BUT, it is at least as likely to be a plain tension headache. I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, this would be reasonable.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
