Yesterday I had Radio Frequency Ablation on S1, S2, and S3 nerves. It went well. I love the staff at Duke Pain Clinic – they are the best.
They told me I would hurt for a few days and be sore but after that I should be pain free. Well no more pain from this issue. The fibro is still with me but the disc issues may all but be resolved. The procedure “burned” off the nerves in the offending areas and it will take 6 months to a year for them to grow back. Good news is at least I will have that time pain free and at best the nerves will grow back in a different spot. Tiny bit different but all the difference to me.
Today I hurt – a lot more than usual. It feels like achey bone pain that arthritics know so well. So bad in fact I am having issue sitting and lying on my back. So I am lying on my stomach and taking it easy.
I am hopeful that this works and I have one less issue to deal with.
