Experience with Radio Frequency Ablation procedures?

That’s great to hear . I have really severe spine issues (myelopathy , spinal stenosis , etc . I had the ablation done on my hip a few months ago ; it really seemed to help . However I had it done on C5-C6 years ago and I was in worse pain for several weeks as the irritated nerves had to die down .

@marycdickens01 I had cervical stenosis and a disc osteophyte complex at C5/C6, and having decompression spine surgery helped me a lot. I have no pain now.
Have you consulted your doctors about potential surgery for your severe spine issues? I can tell you, cervical spine surgery (at Mayo) wasn't that bad. I expected a lot more pain, but it was tolerable, and I could handle it without pain medicine. The meds just nauseated me, so I never took any after I left the hospital. My recovery from a broken ankle and those surgeries was a lot worse that cervical spine surgery and I had to take pain meds for a few weeks. If I can answer questions about it, please ask!
