My first nerve block test actually seemed to remove most of my pain, and it has not returned after 2 weeks. The next one is scheduled for the 27th. If I do that one and the ablation is approved, I understand that those test results will be good for a two year period for my insurance coverage. So, IF I improve as much after this next diagnostic test/nerve block I may decide to hold off and see if the pain returns. I don't want to have the ablation just to have it. If I can manage without it, that would be preferable. I'm going to pursue the possibility of ablation in my lumbar spine afterwards as lower back is the source of most of my pain. Somehow, it seems they got these two turned around. But IF I do have the ablation, I'll report back on how it goes. Meanwhile, I've been trying dry needling and massage, and both seem to have also helped. Best to you! Mike
