Hi Martina, I have this and a bunch of other stuff. Mine is from prior injuries and I have had radio frequency ablation done to the facet joints to relieve the pain. You would have to see if you are a candidate for it and see a pain management doctor to discuss it. Ask your doctor if he thinks this may help you. Other things to consider are TENS unit, lidocaine patches, and meds, usually anticonvulsants or antidepressants. Good luck.
