I have sciatica and arthritis bulk disc in my back. As anyone had radio frequency Ablation for this problem

I have had ablation for that once and it helped. I'm having it again June 9th. I hope it helps again!

I highly recommend it.

I've had it twice already. First time it lasted about a year and a half. Had it again about six months ago and still going strong. I have severe Scoliosis.

@yaya1215 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear you've had back and disc problems.

I moved your post to this existing discussion on radio frequency ablation (RFA) so you could talk to others here discussing a similar topic:

Hoping members here in this discussion such as @jmaclellan @gently @mads20 and others will chime in about their experiences with RFA.

How has this treatment gone for you so far?
