increased pain

Hello,
I got my first bilateral ultrasound guided nerve block last week. Initially I was in heaven. Then, two days later, my pain skyrocketed. I am back up to an 8 on the pain scales. I had gotten down around the 4's and 5's. Its unbearable. I have had it for four days now. Is this normal?
