A nerve ablation is when the tip of the nerve causing the pain is burned of with a laser, I think it's a laser. I lay face down on the table with my lower back exposed. I go to a pain clinic. They clean and numb the area, attach wires to a machine that shows the inside of my lumbar area, and use a laser to do the job. It helps me incredibly.
I read from someone else to check out the doctor and facility. Yes! But I always do that. I worry. I am fortunate. Where I go, I have been going for 6 years. They know their stuff!
You are your own best advocate. I know that's difficult when you're in pain. I have trouble concentrating and sometimes caring. Nobody knows you better than you. Learn, research, call, ask a lot of questions. That's my advice.
I am so sad to hear about your pain. Take care of yourself. You are worth it.
