To shellsk24 I have had all kinds of epidural procedures in the past 25<br>years with no relief from my 7 - 9 pain none work , nor do any pain meds.<br>2 1/2 weeks ago I had the radiofrequency ablation under a stressful<br>condition. I walked out very weak and shaky. In 2 days all the pain was<br>back. They told me it takes 8 weeks of maybe more severe pain before there<br>might be some relief, after 8 weeks. I am still having weakness and<br>shakiness and can't get a return call from them as to whether the procedure<br>could have done this to me. I am one whom meds and procedures often do not<br>work, but am flabbergasted at what is happening to me at the moment. I will<br>keep others informed if this ablation finally gets rid of my pain.<br>@ladyjane86<br><br>

Talk to your doctor about getting a DNA test for medications. I got a DNA test at Mayo. I have a mutation in CYP2D6 that prevents drugs like percocet and vicodin from working on me, at all. My body does not metabolize them, period. Ask your dr about this.
