Thank you Charles. I have plenty of nerve pain so that sounds like a match. Now I’m confused why my nm doctor was against the pain managements ‘ablation’ and epidural. She said it would make my balance worse.
I thought both those doctors should be on the same page. So I have not had any procedures to help my nerve pain which has reached agonizing levels. It’s worsened and is more frequent. I’m worried. If i don’t get the right help this could become permanent.
And God Bless You.

I have CRPS and Small Fiber Neuropathy. Between the two of them I have a lot of numbness in both feet and creeping up my legs. For relief from the pain of these I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted. My experience with RFAs has been specific nerves targeted like my sural nerve and nerves in my neck that give me occipital headaches. I have gone over a year without needing another ablation. Great relief.

All of the ablations and injections that I have had has stopped my pain in the area treated area. My balance has neither been affected positively or negatively. If I may suggest, please go to a Pain Management doctor. You might say, talk to the horses' mouth. If there are other patients in the room, chat with them. You are already working at becoming informed. I commend you. God bless you on your journey and let me know how you do. Charles
