Is there any hope is SI joint pain will improve?

My husband fell flat on his back a year ago. Both SI joints were damaged. He has had severe pain ever since. Due to liver disease he cannot have surgery to stabilize the joints so he found a pain management doctor who will do nerve ablation. Has anyone had this for SI and did it reduce or eliminate the pain?

I had the "genticular" nerve ablation and it really has helped. I just had it done a few weeks ago, but am hopeful it will last several months or a year. I also think that interrupting the pain cycle, doing PT stretches can help long term. I can say at this point that it is much better than the steroid shots.
