Ablation for lower back pain L4-5 S1

Thank you. I will be seeing my dr. not month and I'll ask him about this.

I've had 2 ablations done to my lower back and they seem to work well for about 1 year each time. They take about 4-6 weeks to take full affect. After each procedure it feels like a sunburn inside my back but after that it is numb for about a year. The only bad effect is that I now feel all of the other pains in my body that I hadn't felt hurting before because that pain was overpowering those pains. It's always something. The fun part of growing old. I also have a spinal stimulator for some (about 10) Tarlov cysts on my spinal nerves. They cause "ghost pains" and the stimulator helps to relieve the pains caused by those cysts. I've had the stimulator for about 3 years now and I've had no problems with it. Hope this information helps someone.
