Ablation for lower back pain L4-5 S1

I just want this pain pump out of me!! I've only had it about 3 1/2 weeks and it has been a nightmare. It is pinching a nerve somewhere, and my lower back hurts now. I have a serious pain in my hip and leg on the side the pump is on when I bend over and stand back up. The pump itself is placed under the skin on my left side near the area of my kidney on my left side. I know my doctor doesn't want to, but I want it out of me!! I want to be the one in control of my body!

We can go to the moon, artificial intelligence anything, replace livers, hearts, kidneys, why can't they be more precise on the spine? More R&D and get some engineers involved. I've been telling all doctors this for years. I say, "give this problem to an engineer and he/she will have an answer in a month, medical just have to make it work". I received an injection five months ago and it relieved my pain from spinal stenosis, back again, and I will go for another. A bandaid at best. I feel your pain, keep pressing, get another opinion, hound them! I will not have an operation/procedure until i feel know they are 98% successful.

@melby6069 - Unfortunately, frustration is a part of spinal pain management. You will do well to manage your frustration as you periodically will lose full control over your own body. The feeling is, "Why can't I just be the way I used to be?" 100% understandable feeling.
Sorry you're having this challenging experience. Keep a positive attitude and keep focusing on positive outcomes.
