My question to you would be do you have function in your right leg and are you able to walk on it? If so, I'd be concerned that freezing then burning those nerves may make you have less function in that leg provided which exact nerves they are,I suppose. Of course, you want no or even less pain, but I'm sure not at the cost of function.
I'll be watching this thread with interest as I often have significant pain in my left hip and mid back and have been thinking about seeking out a pain specialist and wondered in advance what options they might give me.

Default Well

Well I am going to talk to my Dr and Neurologist before going this route...Although they can"t seem to come up with any real solution to any of the endless problems that plague me.My family Dr is trying many different drugs even phoning me on a Sunday to see how Oxycontin is working... A Dr really concerned enough to phone this Dr is great!He really wishes there was a pill to take all of this away.So I will be interested in his opinion just wish there were more choices than painkillers and burning out nerves...Thanks for all the comments on this... Jim

i'd be interested to know what this procedure is called.
i had something done to my nerve and now i can't remember.
but, it was successful. really decreased my pain. it was something to do with the nerve. not freezing but burning the one that was causing the pain.

with more input from your drs i'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Hi Jim,
Was it called Radio Frequency Waves? This is something that is getting popular with pain management doctors lately. You can Goggle it and see if that sounds like what they mean. Good luck.

Hi well just got off the phone with the M.S. clinic..I phoned a week ago and that didn't go well.After voice mails Finally talked to a real person she didn't ask the Neuro..Which after few questions I asked about CCSVI which she raised her voice and said There is no proof it works and hung up....]Hmm that few words has just drove me further in the ground.She phoned today all happy she finally talked to the Neuro Get their report and send the report to him.Nice to get no answer and a little late..Now they want me to go and get it..Then bring it next month..No answer and after four years waiting for an appointment with a pain clinic..They won't wait for me to dance around for another Dr..They refuse to return my calls..I guess I'm at my breaking point....Jim

So sorry Jim. It sounds like the Neuro and Nurse are frustrated that they don't know what to do for you and instead of admitting that, they turn it around towards you. I hate when they do that.

I hope your appt goes well..
