RFA made my pain worse?

jmaclellan, dizziness after cervical RFA is common. It can last several weeks, because of inflammation response mainly to the steroid. You could talk to the procedural doctor's nurse, or to the nurses in the clinic where you had the procedure done. It is probably the nerves that they didn't ablate making you dizzy now. I don't think there is any remedy except time. Meanwhile, be very careful not to fall. And use ice twenty minutes on then off. Wishing you the best results.

@gently thanks! i had no steroids in the rfa since i don't tolerate them. it seems to come a go, headache and tingling. But i hope/think I'm seeing faint improvement over the whole day. just hoping each day gets better. i have 1 week f/u with dr tomorrow. just don't want to over due Advil , I'm basically taking 400 to 600 mg a day so low dose. and using ice/heat . ill just hope foe better each day. and that it worked.
