Hi ~ I had it done on the spinal area, and I didn't have any relief at all from it. I know they got the right nerve, cause they used fluoroscopy ~ so they could see what they were doing. It just didn't work.
The only thing wrong with ablation is it's temporary. You don't get relief for very long at all, as the nerves grow back. The AVERAGE rate of regrowth is one inch per month, so it depends on how much they burn as to how long you'll get relief.
If you have it done, I wish you the best of luck. God bless. Hugs, Lee
