Thank you for your suggestion. My pain management Dr keeps saying my nerve pain is coming from all the scar tissue from 3 back surgeries añd the nerves are entrapped there. I am sending my MRI to the neurosurgeons at Rush Hospital in Chicago to review and see if the can help.

If you have a good surgeon they can remove the scar tissue and bring relief. Also be sure - there are diagnostic tests that pinpoint WHICH levels. I have pain but my surgery L3-5 is perfect. Its the areas where I didn't have surgery which are now compressing the nerves. It would be best if your pain clinic, nerve, neurology and spine doctor were in the same medical center. OR - you see your orthopedic surgeon and use his referrals to get farmed out to people he works with. That thigh pain is the WORST. In the meantime, find a place that does RFI/RFA that you can go to.
