Why are epidural steroid injections for back pain limited to only a few a year? Dec 1, 2023 | By Richard H. Rho, M.D. (@richardrho)Comment receiving replies
I have dealt with spinal stenosis for a number of years and have been getting the sterioid injections. They don't seem to do much good and don't last very long. I have heard about rhizotomy burn and was curious about that since I have never heard of it before. Can you explain it, the risks and if it is actually beneficial. Thanks

My husband has had the nerve burning treatment and it helps. It has been over a year now. He had steroid injections before this treatment that lasted six months or so. The doc said the nerves would grow back and he still has pain, but the procedure helped. He will probably repeat the treatment when the pain worsens and he feels he needs it again. He has a good pain management doc who understands the issue as he has the same problem. Wishing you less pain and good days.

Hi Joan
Has anyone offered you any suggestions , I too am curious , have you looked Inyo searching you tube videos , I believe if they burn the nerve it will Rejuvenate within three months or so , And each time you get it done the quicker it rejuvenates I believe there’s a clinic in Phoenix on YouTube that talks about cutting the nerve permanently but I don’t know if this is a good solution either let me know Make out I’m quite curious myself
