Has anyone ever had a Radiofrequency ablation?

My 40 yo daughter was recently DX by pain management Dr. and now they want to perform a RFA but I think she needs a second opinion by a spine specialist? PLEASE HELP!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

I hate to post this on someone else's feed but I can't figure out how to start original post....
Has anyone heard of developing multiple hemangiomas throughout spine in less than a year?
I have researched normal and aggressive hemangiomas but how do you tell the difference?

Hi,
I've had several levels in my cervical spine ablated and it helped the NECK pain alot.
For the pain in my shoulder blade and down my upper arm he gave me an injection which worked well. It's been about 7 months and my pain is coming back. Please tell me what happened with yours. I get nervous about doing them even though they work.
I have also had several done in my lower back, worked well.

Mine helped alot! The nerves do grow back and may require more ablations but they do work and much better than living in pain.
