I didn’t know it can be done multiple times. Why, if they’ve burnt out the nerves? Confused.

From what I understand, the nerves regenerate and the pain could then return. It’s definitely not a permanent solution.

yes it can. And there are different types. Heat vs. pulse. Try them both. The pulse does not work for me. Regarding "burnt-out nerves" -- they can regenerate sometimes. I've done Ablation for 25 years. It is AWESOME. Sometimes it has to be done twice to really get it. One time it lasted 15 years. That's a great run for pain-free! But when it stopped working entirely it meant that the issue was driven from my discs falling out and squishing the nerve roots not the stenosis at the facet joints any longer.
