I am looking into a Medial Branch ablation and rhizotomy for pain. Just learned of a new procedure to remove the medial nerve if the ablation is successful, might be something I look into. This alone will not resolve other issues with my spine, but.....

I had a diagnostic block on S1/L5 and L4/L5 recently and it did help with pain for a few hours. I do not tolerate steroids, so I knew my block was going to be strictly diagnostic. However, I have friends that have found relief with blocks and epidurals.
