Rheumy said I may need a nerve block for pain in hip and lower back. Anybody had one?? How is it done? Will it hurt? :'( I'm a big chicken. Haha

No shame in being a " big chicken"...we have all been there at one time or another...well I know I have at least....lol!
I have never had a nerve block done for pain, but I'm hoping that someone will come by soon who has to help ease your mind about possibly getting this done.
I have not had it done, but...my friend has. For him they did a local before and it did help him not to feel the pain but I could still see the pain in his body posture.
It worked for him for many years. I was somewhat envious but was not offered this option.
Depends on who is doing it, my wife had several and she didn;t get any relief for more then 2 weeks, but I worked with a guy that had great results.
