More surgery (2) needed for me.... NEW UPDATE !!!post 42

[Catsnclay]

Hope this is a little encouraging news, my FIL's neighbor had this proceedure done to him, he was pretty much bedridden, he is now up and walking around! So, hopefully this will work for you too!



Catty1 - FYI - You cannot remove nerves, but you can 'burn' them closed for 6-12 months, with a proceedure called: Radiofrequency Lesioning. But nerves grow back and the hopes with this is that when they do grow back, it will take another path, which keeps you out of pain. This proceedure can be done over & over - sort of like 'training' the nerves to grow the path you want them to take.

They just did this proceedure on my lower back, and I am 6 weeks past - so far I am getting relief, but the days I feel good I tend to over-do and then next day I feel worse But it is getting better - slowly! (too slowly for me, but then again I'm impatient!! )

Good luck with the up and coming surgery, Lut!!! - I really do hope it helps with you, I know what back pain feels like!

Sending lots of headbumpies & wet kisses your way..........
