Hello, @karolyn, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Thank you for posting.

I would like to introduce you to @hosta, who has had this procedure done before and will hopefully offer some insight with you. Can you share how and why this decision was made with your provider? What kind of pain are you in?
