I had radio frequency ablation procedure 3 yrs ago. It is done in a series of 3 injections. I did not notice any real or long lasting benefits from this procedure. I went on to have a fusion surgery, which unfortunately, did little to help with my back pain and poor mobility. Hope the procedure is more successful for you. I take a daily 25mg Tramadol which helps with the chronic pain situation.

Thanks for your reply and info. Sounds so difficult and painful for you. Also very frustrating when a procedure doesn’t work. Then to have fusion surgery, wow that’s bravery! I take Tylenol and rest during the day. Then middle of the night have a morphine. I was booked for knee replacement but cancelled to avoid aggravating my back. We are in the coastal part of BC and winter weather is annoying in lots of ways. The snow right now is obstructing getting out on the scooter. However it’s sunny! Keeps the spirits up a bit.
