Hi my friend. I was going to call you. I just read about "Radiofrequency Ablation for Pain Management". The article was from the Cleveland Clinic. I still pray for you buddy. I have to speak to my pain management and my hand specialist doctors. I want to try it on my arthritic thumb as the steroid shot does not work for long term. Then I might give it a try on my neuropathy. Have a great New Year's buddy.

@julkun So, I had RFA treatments early on for my back pain after steroid injections did not work. They did not help either. Apparently it helps quite a few people. I guess your stimulator has still not given you any relief. There was a gal here on Mayo Connect who said she had to have it tweaked for almost a year before she was able to get any relief. Hope this works for you, amigo.
Unfortunately, my pain pump as still not helped me. But the stories from other pump patients give me hope that if I keep upping the output, I will reach a point where it will help. I hope it's soon as my neuropathy is really ramping up
Have a blessed New Year!
