Ablation was very successful for me over the years. Problem is that many doctors and pain management clinics. Don’t offer it to people. Which is super unfortunate because it’s a really wonderful thing. Sometimes I think the pain management clinics are corrupt. They can’t make any money when they solve your problem and you go away. I had one doctor recently at a private pain management clinic who told me it was $2000 to order the special needle for the ablation so he wouldn’t do it. The only thing he wanted to order was crappy medication like steroids that would keep me coming back every three months , the ablation kept me away for 15 years . It’s great stuff!
