In order for insurance to approve the ablation, you have to report an 80% improvement in the first and 2nd injections before the ablation.

Which to me is ridiculous, but that's what I was informed. Just thought I'd share.

thanks! I'm aware of that, but my question is more to do with whether the improvement is in the back area or the referred pain in the back of the leg, which is my main issue right now.

Thank you - I never considered this was the reason for the facet injections. Who would have guessed.
