I have had nerve ablation will as well, they really are helpful. I’m sorry there’s not another doctor in your area that does those. Are you in a rural area? Yes, I have spondylosis in my thoracic plus compression fractures, but I’ve never tried that. I’ve only had that from my SI area and it was helpful for years . It’s very painful when I wake up in the morning so I can relate. I’ve been going for laser therapy twice a month only because she doesn’t take insurance when it’s 125 each time. I know what you mean it’s a constant battle, but we can never give up. We have to keep trying new things.. Good luck to you.

I just caught up your comments. I'm considering nerve ablation. I've been having shots that don't do much and the pain doc is saying because I reacted well to the numbing shots before the cortisone, I'm a good candidate for the ablation. Has the ablation been good? Anything you can say what makes a good candidate? I'm going on four years post spine surgery with rods and instrumentation halfway up my back. Pain is worse than before the surgery. Taking 20 to 40 mg's Oxycodone a day and sitting with heating pad a lot. Thank you
