I had VERY successful RFA/RFI on my facet joints (heat not pulse) on my lower lumbar facet joints covered by insurance and it solved the pain that is referred to the front of your legs originating from disc compression degenerative arthritis stenosis in my lumbar. good luck!

What you have is exactly what I have been told I have. My pain is all in my upper leg (outer thigh, inner thigh and groin). Nothing gives me pain relief for the nerves. With the stimulator I can feel the currents from my knees down and above my groin but nothing on my thigh. Working with the Abbott rep to try and get some relief as I can't put weight on my right foot or the pain shoots like a lightening bolt up my leg.

Along with the degenerative arthritis they say the pain is from scar tissue compressing nerves after 3 back surgeries.

How are you doing now?
