I had the ablation done on my right side in Dec and left side in Jan. So far so good. Still have some lower back pain but no where near what it was before. I too am hoping for the 2+ year relief. Just praying for time. I know of a man who has it done every 3-4 months. He says it's worth it for the relief. Don't know if I would do that. For me the recovery was pretty easy. Hope it's the same for you.

As many of you know I am struggling with an area in my left hip that seems to be getting worse despite multiple changes in medication, too many nerve blocks to count and multiple trips 200 miles one way to see my wonderful pain doc and his lovely PA. This last visit I saw my docs partner, she stated that I have had "far" too many blocks and steriod injections. She feels that I need to have a nerve ablation. From what little research I have done it does not look like something this darned old nurse wants to proceed with. However I am not sure how much longer I will be able to continue my work in surgery, on the acute care floor and in the ER.....
