Anyone had an ablation for lower back pain
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (62)Comment receiving replies
Had ablation done among 10 other procedures after a failed surgery of a fusion of L5/S1. This surgery was done 10 years ago and the 10 procedures were done by my pain specialist. I also had a laminectomy which didn't help. My pain specialist gives me Norco which is the only thing that helps me lead a normal life with limitations, like walking far. My last procedure was the spinal stimulator which didn't help either.

I have wondered about the stimulator for back pain. I thought it would be nice to stop the drugs that ease the pain. I have used a tens unit but it only distracts me from the pain, it doesn’t actually make the pain subside. It is too much trouble for daily use. I suspect this is similar. Thank you for sharing. I am glad Norco helps you.
