Thanks for your post! Having RF ablation on 8/1. Put it off for 4 more months to try and put some pelvic stuff in order first, was told that I would be pretty sore for two weeks after. Yes?
Lower spine, forget the exact ones but will be six burns; been a bit since I’ve seen the Doc.
Is there connection between the lower spine nerves and the pudendal nerves? Crossing fingers that procedure might have some relief for my pudendal stuff too…
And you mentioned “other tools in the box” what might they be?
Thanks and glad that you are having such good results!

The first of August is soon to be here!
Yes it is sore... mine was a little longer than 2 weeks, but each of us are a little different...and most folks seem to have 2 or 3. Having 5 or 6 is a bigger number.
Be sure to follow the recommended medication regime; don't try to be a hero!
Also observe the recommended activity schedule carefully. This will insure the best outcomes.
I can't comment on pudendal nerves..good question for the doc!
Since I was going to be resting for a while after, I got in some skin care products that I just 'never had time for' and used them for some pampering and a pleasant bed rest activity. Helped keep spirits up and a good distraction from recovery pain.. also, my skin looked great!
Also had a lot of documentaries lined up with Netflix, good distraction and easy to watch- I couldn't handle reading or any action flicks.
I said at the time that the discomfort of recovery was not nearly like the pain endured before.... and you know that it will end soon!
All the best to you! I'll be thinking of you on the First!
