Is an injection of B12 to a nerve considered a "nerve block"? And would you code this injection as 64455?

Nerve Block: Injected vitamin B12 1000 mcg to the proximal fifth digit, 10th proper plantar digital nerve course and sural nerve region where lesion of plantar nerve is palpated, between the lateral ankle ligament repair and coursing to the plantar lateral fifth metatarsal base fracture repair sites where painfully palpated, R.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

the code 64455 is an injection for an anesthetic agent and or steroid. I do not think the b12 would not qualify for that code try the therapeutic injection code.
