I have been reading about burning the nerve pain. None of my 5 surgeons even mention this as an option. Since I suspect the majority of pain is S1L5 & L5L4. That might be my short term solution and buy me more time before fusion surgery . I am curious..Did your docs offer this or did you research and present this to them?

Thanks for responding,, I just ran across this as an option. I see the pain management Dr. this week so I am going to bring it up. I think its called ablation. I do feel that the ortho wants to exhaust every option before fusion surgery.
