I was dx with Lyme about 14 months ago. I have been chronically sick and in pain for about 5 yrs. not knowing what I had. I had carple tunnel surgery and came out with RSD that took another failed carple tunnel surgery, physical therapy, and 10 months of severe pain to regain the use of my arm. Then, both of my arms began to have nerve pain and go to sleep on a regular basis and I needed neck surgery for 2 disks were bulging into my spinal cord. Once that was done. I thought it was over, but it was not. I began having even more nerve pain and long story short was refered to a doc who told me no matter what he would find out what was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Lyme disease with coinfections. I have been on constant rounds of antibiotics, vitamins, and herbal supplements. I am still in constant pain and go through cycles of severe pain.
The pm doc I just went to wants me to try this RFA but, I fear it will increase my nerve pain, since it involves burning the nerve endings. I have had 4 nerve blocks and each one increased my pain. Has anyone with Lyme had this procedure done and was it sucessful? Thamks
