Hi,
I first noticed this pain after my 2nd spine surgery, in April of this year (2012).
It seems to happen most often when I lie down and sit.
Frequency is probably every day. Duration is that, once I feel it, I'll feel it for awhile, maybe a couple of hours, then it's gone until it comes back again.
Sometimes, I think/feel that it was positional, but I haven't been able to pinpoint that.
As I said, it's definitely not a "sharp" pain. It's more like someone is pushing their fist into that area of my lower left back.
I know that this description is somewhat vague
...
I finally got an appointment with the interventional radiologist for today for a consultation. I made that just about the time that fastcarbon posted about laparoscopic ablation, so I figured I'd keep this appointment, just to see what they say, but if I decide to pursue this, I'll probably go see a urologist that does the ablation procedure eventually.
Thanks,
Jim
