I have started the ablation process six months ago, but had to stop due to a blood clot in my lung. I’m looking forward to completing the process in January and hoping for a good outcome. I have had to give up all of the positive things in my life that I enjoyed immensely, walking, playing golf, strength training, even housecleaning! I am an active person stuck in an aging body that cannot move very well. I can’t wait to get rid of this pain.

it CAN be permanent. It just depends on a lot of factors - like where the pain is really originating.
