Nerve block and rfd, then problem sleeping on left side

Did anyone ever have two successful nerve blocks and then the rfd or burning of nerves on one side of spine and then experience numbness and tingling on one side while trying to sleep? Then they have to turn back over cause it gets so uncomfortable to sleep on that side?

It also feels like when you laid on your arm too long and it starts to go to sleep..in comparison somewhat. Mine seems to start in pelvic region and spreads throughout leg and foot and lower back. I had hoped the rfd or radio frequency burning would have helped, but made things worse. Lawyer turned me down on going for lawsuit even and I dropped pursuing...not sure if I should pursue? Got to have evidence right? Now , I see a neurologist, not a spine doctor. He upped my gabapentin and taking me off narcotics....but I get flare ups with my degenerative spine and sciatica so bad I have to take a percocet with highest strength over the counter actamenophen and 400 mg ibuprofen pill form and the 800 mg gabapentin. My flare ups might last 3 or 4 days even.
