  1. I've had both sides done in the last month. I find that it has greatly helped it's not 100%, it needs to be done 6 months possibly a year. No pain turn the procedure just a bit uncomfortable at times.

  2. Just had this done today. I hate needles lol. Wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. Only discomfort was when he tried to find the areas that had pain so he knew to put the medicine in the troubled area..My doctor did one needle at a time then injected the medicine..Felt this made it easier on me because by the time he did the other two I was going numb. Get my neck done neck, then my right knee

  3. I was supposed to have this done and after vast research I find the same answers, yes it works, for short time! not what they tell you in a year or more, some only a week or two and for that risk! I never got it done and I suffer the pain daily. I just as soon enter the MAID program and end my life than suffer more of this and have to be a pin cushion over and over to try to live. I am done with it all.

  4. i have very bad lower back pain due to big herniations and got this done, praying it does the trick 😢 my life has been so affected by the pain, im still in recovery from this so i hope to feel no pain in 2 weeks

  5. Ive had this procedure done two times. Once when i was in my mid 20sw and the second in my mid 30s. In my experience they work for a week or two. The best pain relief ive ever had was from epidurals. The last one I got lasted for over 8 month.

    And yes thats my back getting a RFA in the picture. Also one more thing FRAs are more expensive then a epidural. (In my experience).

  6. From what I saw it didn't explain anything about ablation it just showed someone inserting some needles, getting the okay from the guy watching the temperature control and that was it. That's not information. I would have preferred the nitty gritty 🥱
