Anyone had an ablation for lower back pain

Thank you for your response. I will be taking 10mg Valium before the procedure. It makes sense as to why the doctor wants you awake. With my steroid injections he just uses numbing gel, and that's not so bad. I'm still nervous though. I'll be glad when it's over Wednesday. Did you get relief then?

It felt a tiny ouchie doing it, but nothing compared to when the pain gets cooking. It can take up to two weeks or more for some relief, or sooner, but if the numbing process makes it feel good for even a couple hours, that is already a possible good sign.
Let us know how you do-will say a prayer for positive outcome!
