Anyone had an ablation for lower back pain

We do sound similar. None of the drugs you mentioned helped. No pain reliever works for me. PT made it worse. I can't stand or walk for more than a few minutes at a time. One neurosurgeon said it was nerves causing the pain. The second neuro said it was muscular. I have had numerous steroid injections that didn't help either. Had a spine stimulator for 5 weeks that didn't help.
I have DDD throughout my spine. My next procedure will be a gel injection to hydrate the vertebrae. If that doesn't help, I don't know what I'm going to do. I do know I can't live like this. 24/7 pain is awful. Good luck on your journey!

Did they do any sort of MRI or other imaging on your soft tissues in your lower back? If it's muscular they might be able to tell. My initial pain feels like burning or inflammation, like tendons or ligaments are being torn. Could be too that some muscles may be pressing on nerves.
