Ablation for lower back pain L4-5 S1

Posted by krgquinlan @krgquinlan, Jun 26, 2024

I'm scheduled for ablation for my lower back L4-5 S1. I have severe spinal stenosis. I'm in constant pain hurts to stand and put weight on my left leg. My left side is the worst. Just wondering others experience with this procedure. The nerve block to determine the area of pain I just about flew off the table. I'm 75 yrs of age.

I’ve had an ablation on my lower spine and have found pain relief. I would do it again. I may need another one and will be seeking help. They do last one year Or longer.
I have had many issues with my back. It’s painful. Good luck
