Great! Typically, after positive results from the block are reported, insurance approves the next step of RFA (radio frequency ablation), then scheduling is pretty quick. Good luck to you on the next step. Keep hope alive! Will you report back on how you do with the ablation?

I desperately need an ablation of my left occipital nerve but I was told insurance (Medicare) requires two separate nerve block injections (lidocaine) and only if pain is blocked two times will Medicare pay. My problem is that Lidocaine leaks into all nearby tissues notth, south, east and west, and causes pain that goes on and on. So even if I have the ablation, angry tissues are going to continue to hurt 24/7. Did u not go through that?
How long after the ablation did it take for pain from the ablation (burning of the nerve) to go away?
