Yes, I went through the shots (no relief) and the ablation. None of it worked. I've had 3 back surgeries and now have developed idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. So now, in addition to back and neck pain, I have the electrical shock pain and the burning pain. Such fun! I have gotten some relief for the back and neck pain from The McKenzie Method of gentle stretches. You can find some videos on YouTube that will show you how to do the stretches. I hope you find some relief and that the shots and ablation will help you. I wanted to let you know about my experiences so you can make some comparisons. We all have to be pretty tough characters to be able to endure the pain - and the misunderstanding of the general public who think if they can't see anything, then there's nothing wrong with you... sigh
