Experience with Radio Frequency Ablation procedures?

I have a Radio on C4-C6. My docs said that is as far down the spine they will do Radio. So we have been trying to reach between C7 and C8 on my right side where the pain is. So he goes down my spine to that point and makes an injection but does not burn the nerve end. This may last several months and the pain may not even come back. So SNI is finding one certain nerve and giving an injection not Radio. I hope maybe I have cleared up some of your questions. KLH

Yes, you have. Thank you so very much. I just want to have some info when I go Thursday to Spine doctor not knowing what he may suggest. I have osteoporosis and really don’t want a steroid injection because I’ve heard that can cause more bone loss. But hoping there is something without steroids in the injection.
Thank you for replying and I hope you get relief as well.
