I have had bi lateral spinal ablation 2x. Same area.
It put the pain away for a little bit but I'm talking like a day or 2.But other people have very good results with spinal oblation. I would give it a go it may work for you.

They keep you slightly awake, so you can talk to them as they do it.It just feels like a little like electric shock. But it can b painful depending upon how inflamed your nerves are.

But it's fast and over pretty quick. I hope this helps.
If you have any questions please comment back.
I'll be happy to help!

About the only thing that helped me was ablation outside of surgery. The neurologist I had sedated me and he shot up all lumbar discs. I got about six months out of it. The shots never helped me, but some lucky people have great success. Good luck.

Hello,
I saw a dr who does ablation and after thousands of dollars for MRIs and appointments. They tried an area that’s caused me problems for 30 + years. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me, it made it worse for at least a couple of weeks.
I too hear of people who have such success with it but unfortunately it was an expense that was not helpful for me at all.

I have had epidural and spinal ablation. It helped with pain but only lasted about a month. Medicare will not cover unless you have several pain killer injections and can verify at least an 80% improvement. I was able to do so and Medicare plus my supplemental insurance covered total cost. I doubt I will have done again due to limited time this helps.

I have had Botox and ablation. Botox last about three months. The ablation last me two years. I have problems with my right and left si joint
