I have neuropathy in my feet and legs, have had both hips replaced and suffer with degenerative arthritis in my back for years. I've been controlling the pain with Oxycodin in small doses for years and trying to avoid surgery to fuse my spine. Now the pain is so bad the medication isn't helping and my pain specialist wants to burn the nerves in my spine to stop the pain for a year. There's got to be a better way.

I have chronic back pain also which was also unmanageable. I had the ablation or burning of the nerve to relieve the pain. The first one lasted 16 months of relief. Last year I had a 2nd one & so far it’s been 15 months and I’m just starting to feel the pain. So maybe you should try the ablation. It’s worth a try. I’m very happy with it.
