Default Concerned about nerve block procedure
My doctor has recommended a procedure called lumbar radiofrequency ablation which would block pain receptors for chronic lower back pain. My research shows this to be an effective and fairly safe procedure. My concern is that this could be a "bandaid" that just masks the underlying problem and could resuly in my not being aware if I aggravate or worsen the underlying problem since I will no longer feel pain in that region. Anyone who has had this procedure done or has further info?
