Anyone had an ablation for lower back pain

I’ve had low back pain for 2 years. Pain injections did no good. Any good results with ablation

Ur surgery nor ablation helped? I am working on a nerve block.

What is a nerve block?

REPLY

A nerve block is injection of a numbing agaent and a steroid to hopefully stop pain signals. It can be real good or medium.. ir not work. Sometimes must Be repeated to get it to last.

I had tremendous success over 20 years with ablations. However, they didn’t help my back pain. They helped the nerve pain that reached around to the front of my legs and down my legs. I suggest you go back for diagnostic tests at each nerve root L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and S1. I also suggest you have an MRI and you see an orthopedic surgeon and you get a diagnosis of exactly what’s going on.

I have had an ablation. Pain relief for a few weeks but still in pain.
