Experience with Radio Frequency Ablation procedures?

I just recently had RFA in November on my upper right and upper left, T5 through T7. They said I probably should’ve had T8, but the insurance only covers three levels. The right one seem to be fine and it may be a coincidence but the last one actually is near a bone spur formation that comes off the spine and I feel like it’s aggravated. If I turn, it really hurts. Very painful. Like I said, it may be a coincidence. They told me the hope was that it would last six months because insurance won’t let it be repeated until then. They said that nerves can regenerate. I’m hoping that this issue goes away soon, but I’m not so sure that maybe it is just a bone spur formation that could be digging into my surrounding tissues.

So sorry to hear

Wishes to you for the best!!!!!

My experience has been that my doctor said nerves can regenerate, and I am in pain again and considering having it redone.
