Radiofrequency ablation

RoyA

I have been offered Radiofrequency ablation on my lower back I wondered if anyone had had experience of this and was it worth it?

Hello @RoyA

Could I ask if the radio frequency ablation has been suggested due to some form of complication involving the nerves in your back?

If so, have you tried nerve block injections or epidural steroid injections?

I don't have any experience of the radio frequency ablation you refer to but have tried the injections.

Unfortunately these did not work for me though others I have spoken to have had very good results from them.

After a failed microdisectomy, my next option is a spinal cord stimulator or to continue with medication and physiotherapy.
