Thank you for the information. It’s so interesting that the sacroiliac ablation was not covered by insurance. What makes that so different from other types of back ablation? Did he get immediate relief of some sort after each ablation? I did not and I’m wondering if they’re finding the “right nerves”! Most of my pain is in my sacrum and is definitely all arthritis related. I have an additional complication with nerve damage on the opposite side of my back as an aftermath of shingles. Sometimes the pain gets all mixed together and I’m not sure if it’s the shingles damage or arthritis. Different treatments I’m told by the orthopedic surgeon. I honestly don’t know anymore. I’m frustrated and just would like to be without pain. I do appreciate your input.
