@loriesco yes RFA (nerve ablation) helps. I had that done on one side of spinal facet joints over a month ago. It has been somewhat helpful. But pain increases to 9 sometimes when getting up at night…3 am then 6am. Opiate is needed once or maybe twice daily. It is hard to talk to my Doctor as it seems prescribed 2 a day is max. I do try, with Tylenol …have moderate exercise like short walks or moving to music which helps spirits slightly. I get tired late in day and have a short nap. I need the other side of L2-L5 facet joints nerve ablation but the skin area has still not healed. It really isn’t comfortable to sit in a car (I stopped driving) and must have dental work this week, anticipating problems from the extra tension. After years of needles (epidurals) I’m not going to stop hoping.
