I probably had at least 6 ablations. Very little relief for me. The staff at the doctors office said most people get
50-80% relief. The doctors finally decided that as a last resort to try a spinal stimulator implant. WOW! It’s been life changing! Eliminated at minimum 80% of my lower back pain. It’s a very expensive procedure and insurance companies don’t want to pay for it until you’ve been through all the other treatments.
It’s easy peezy. 2 weeks recovery, very little post op pain and it’s off to the races. All that being said, my back is on average worse than most. That’s why the other procedures did not provide much relief.
