Hopeman, you can have as many blocks as your doctor will give you but Prof. Robert recommends no more than a series of 3 steroid blocks due to the risk of nerve damage. The reference to his statement can be found in the nerve block article I wrote in the January 2014 newsletter.

If you are talking about epidural nerve blocks, personally I would not have ANY steroid epidural blocks because of the risk of arachnoiditis. I've known people who have arachnoiditis and it is even less treatable than PNE.
