Thanks for your reply, Meg. I’m glad to hear both of you are healing, although maybe not as well as you wanted. I can’t take anti inflammatory meds at all, really.
I’ve done some reading to learn the best way forward for me. With Modic changes mentioned on my mri report, I think I will try the ablation. PT did not help, only made me hurt more. It did strengthen some of my muscles.
But if the ablation doesn’t help I’m going to move forward and ask for surgery. It’s really about quality of life, I am so restricted in my activities with this pain.
Thanks for your input and sharing your experiences!
