This last visit I saw my docs partner, she stated that I have had "far" too many blocks and steriod injections. She feels that I need to have a nerve ablation. From what little research I have done it does not look like something this darned old nurse wants to proceed with. However I am not sure how much longer I will be able to continue my work in surgery, on the acute care floor and in the ER.....
I guess I just want to hear what the thoughts round here are about this "lovely" procedure

Hi! I am new here. I had an RFA on my left cervical/shoulder a couple of weeks ago, and have experienced about 80% relief. I get the right side done next week and hope it is as successful.
Tomorrow I am having the trial SCS by Boston Scientific put in. I hope it works.
I think the RFA is worth trying. Hope this helps.
