Ablation recommended for back issues: Anyone else?

@ramona51 I am having a radio frequency ablation of my right knee on 11/20, for the same reasons. Yes, have gone through cortisone shots, plus various topical applications of different types of creams and lotions. It is the same for me, severe arthritis, and I am not a good surgery candidate for anything. They have previously done a genicular nerve block to see if there was relief, before submitting the paperwork to insurance for approval.

Good luck on your procedure! I will be anxious to hear how it all goes for you!

Thank you Ginger! I hope it goes well for both of us. I’m an avid walker and really don’t want to have my arthritis take that away from me and my dog. I’m already dealing with nerve damage on the other side of my back from shingles! Yikes…the joys of aging. Blessings to you.
