@gator123 Hello there. Yes, I received both cervical and occipital radio frequency ablations over a span of 2 years. C4-7 right side and both right and left occipitals. In the beginning I felt as though they worked however, as time went on I was in more pain overall and the procedures became very intense to take. I got to a point where I threw in the towel which lead to my discovery of Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS)

I later discovered CSS to be the reason my pain intensified overall. Having needles in a CSS body is very counterproductive to pain management.

I will agree with @loribroda that the lidocaine injection prior to the burning of the nerves hurt more. All in all, the surgical center I went to wrangled people in like sheep so it must work for many, just not me.
