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

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

I have had bilateral ablations in both my lumbar and thoracic spine. The trial nerve blocks worked, but the ablations didn’t. It caused a lot of frustration, to say the least.

My pain was just replaced with a burning pain which lasted quite a while. I guess at least, it took my mind off from my original pain.

I would never do it again.

Thank you for responding. I'm sorry the second one didn't work. What's your next step?

Yes, I had four in April. I did get relief. I would recommend ablations for anyone. I have a great doctor in Charlotte, North Carolina.
