Hello, I’m interested to know if you feel relief now from the intracept procedure you had. I’m talking with my surgeon this week about it. My pain mgmt doctor suggested it to me for degenerative bone in my low back. I’ve had a lot of steroid injections over the years that didn’t help much. I’d appreciate your feedback on your results.

Ekhorsa, I am going on week number six. I have my good days and my worse days like before if I stand or walk too much, so I think so far I have not got the results that some others have. I think you should have the procedure, especially if you are 65 or over as Medicare Plan B pays 100% for it. The risks are so minimal that I wasn’t worried at all. I was so hoping for an end to the lower back pain. I’ll keep hoping that maybe in the next couple of months I’ll see a difference. My doctor said that for some people he’s seen it take 5 months or more. I wish you all the best. Let me know how you do.
