Hi Pooh, the only thing I have heard from friends who personally received the procedure was as to all of them, and they are more than a handful- as to them it did not help.
For you, I pray good diagnostics, appropriate and full consideration so an informed decision can be made..... because I deeply care, yup ![]() |

Hi Pooh, sorry about the issues you are having
![]() All I can advise is to research it, ask questions and make sure your doctor is really good at them. With all that info, you should be able to make a decision you are comfortable with ![]() Good luck to you! Nanc ![]() |

I am in the beginning stages, however. I go in Weds. to a new pain mgmt. dr. for a pain generator test. I'm under the impression that he does a nerve block with only anesthesia at certain nerve roots in order to find the nerve or nerves that are causing my cervical issues that cannot be addressed by my cervical SCS.
From there I'm not sure where it goes. I have read on some forums about those who have had nerve ablation and wished they had not (increased symptoms, pain in new areas etc.) but I also know that it's quite possible that those who have success don't post their success. I think I'm going to try to stick with steroid shots for now if they can pinpoint the nerves causing my issues, if that is an option. My neurosurgeon did mention the ablation as a possible, more permanent option, which wouldn't require going back in for shots periodically. How many steroid shots did you get? Did you get them every 3 mos.? When I get my steroid shots in my shoulders they will only do them every 3 mos. I'm hoping that the steroid shot route will work for me, if this is the route I need to take, as I'm rather nervous about having someone cut a nerve, esp. given that they can regenerate and would require ablation a second time. I read about someone who has had their nerve ablated several times over the years and now faces the fact their dr. says that ablation is no longer an option. What does one do then? I hope that you get the help you need! I will watch your journey as it seems you are a few steps ahead of me. Praying for your pain relief! ![]() |

Yes, my nurses have been above all SUPER in care when I had to go in. I hope never to go in again. Ever. Just tired of all of the gig.
Even so, I pray for Pooh and Fiona in coming approach to procedures, whether ablation or injection that the target be surely hit. That the issue be remedied thus. That with care, the joy for life is restored because pain is managed. Yup ![]() ![]() |
