Hi, I tried acupuncture before and after surgery but didn’t help. There is a therapy called shock wave that might help. I tried it after surgery but didn’t do much. But there is a stronger version that I may try. These therapies are expensive and insurance doesn’t cover but with 24/7 pain I think it’s worth a try. Please continue to post and let us know your outcome. Three different doctors and 3 different opinions so I am not sure that revision is the answer for me.

Ablation was a very tolerable procedure and insurance paid for it.
