I’m glad you had great success with ablation. After the first round of “testing “ to make sure they’re locating the affected nerves, I had little to no relief. I’ve read some horror stories about ablation and I’ve grown leery of the process. I’ve spoken to others about regenerative or laser treatments and most likely will pursue those options.

my doctor ALWAYS did a diagnostic test before the ablatia to determine if he was going to be successful with the ablatia. It does indeed not work for some because their pain is not coming from the facet joints. That is the whole point of the diagnostic testing. It is a non invasive treatment so I don't know what kind of "horror stories" exist. They put a needle in, heat it up, you are done. Of course, it needs to be done by a qualified doctor! Using "guided" imagery!
