My first visit at the Mayo Clinic, Tyler Young P.A-C., M.S. referred me to Pain management, which I will see Tyler Dunn M.D. He also told me it is a process to get the implant, 3 -4 months. In the process go back to my pain and spine management in Albuquerque, NM. and demand they do a Radio Frequency Ablation. I had the injections yesterday Friday 31st, which I could not be leave the difference. I could actually walk like a normal human being. It only lasted for a few hours, it was great for those few hours. I am fused from L2-SI joints. The Dr. that did my ablation injections told me the pain I have is Sciatic pain from not being able to move any of the muscles around the spine. He is the first one to tell any that, which makes since. I will see Tyler Dun M.D. on Friday June 7th, I can not wait to see what can come out of this visit.

Thank you for the information. I am having the Radio Frequency Ablation on both sides sensory nerves at L3-L5 on September 10. The two trials reduced my pain over 80%. I had a Lamenectomy in 2014 from L1-L4. They can't operate due my scoliosis rotates where those vertebrae are at. This RFA is my last resort after being denied at other options and treatments. My S1, L5 and L4 are fused together because of spinal stenosis. I am already fused at C2-T2, rods on both sides. My scoliosis was fixed in my Cervical by bending the rods. Fusing my Lumbar would cause my spine to rigid. My Lumbar works ok mechanically. It is the constant pain that is taking my life. I pray that this works and both of us won't have to burn the nerves for long time to never!!!

My neurologist referred me to the Mayo Clinic and my case was rejected because the Mayo Clinic could not do anything more than what is available locally. So I haven't pursured going to the Mayo Clinic any further.
