Just not sure if I should proceed down this road cause my pain level is up and down and never the same. Can be nothing at times which is not as common anymore or it can be manageable or can intensify. It has been like this for about a year and it changes as time goes on and I usually start to feel new pain I have not felt before. I have done every conservative treatment you can think of including the holistic approach. So I’m just curious to those out there that might have had this procedure how well did it work for you should I just wait a bit longer. I welcome all feedback or insight on this. Thank You
