So treat the symptom instead of the cause...

Had ablation performed in August for my lower back pain from 2 degenerated discs. A different technique, burned the nerves in the fascia. Time to regrow is unknown, estimates range between 9 - 18 months. Not many other options, the relief has been a blessing so far. Lots of insurance hurdles to get through, but for me, so worth it.

Hate to tell ya but this isn’t news. I have had this done for 20 years as often as protocol would allow. Usually effective for 4-6 months. Usually. A spinal cord stimulator from Boston Scientific is also very effective.

Some of the back pain is truly debilitating. Certainly better to treat the cause of the aberrant nerve conduction. Any ideas?
