Jeez ~ when i had it done several years ago, I did NOT have increased pain. I had the same old pain that I had before -- the RF didn't work. I remember that the site where he did the RF was just a bit sore -- and i put ice on it to get the pain down. A day or 2 after I had it done, I was back to where I was before.
Definitely call your doctor -- I've not heard of it making the pain levels go UP. See what your doc says. And please let us know what you find out. In the meantime, use ICE for 20 minutes every 2 hours (this is according to my Neurosurgeon). The ice should help with the inflammation, plus it can reduce the pain. Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
