Back pain after sympathetic nerve block?!
Question: I had my 2nd sympathetic nerve block for my CRPS in my right leg last Thursday and ever since my back has hurt....
Could this be an error from the doc?!?

It's a common side effect of having the blocks. My doctor when I had my first block told me that my back may feel like a 2x4 had punched me in the back. I know it's common after the sympathetic blocks to have some back pain. Usually it is eased with some Advil or Tylenol. It's just a common side effect of the blocks rather than doctor error.
