Radio Frequency Ablation - Lower Back
I had this done on L4, L5, S1 after all treatments in the past have failed. I had the two medial branch blocks and I thought they decreased the pain about 60-70%. But I’ve been dealing with my back for 20 years and don’t even really know what my baseline pain is anymore. I’ve just adjusted to being in pain. Anyway, I’m 3 weeks post RFA. My pain is worse. I know it’s still early. But curious what people have experienced with this procedure and if it didn’t work for you and your MRI and XRays don’t indicate that you’re a surgical candidate what were your next steps?
TIA!
