If the degeneration of the spine is too severe they quit working.

Yes, nerves grow back in some people and ave to keep burning them. If it’s that nd I wonder if spinal cord tumult or would help. But they have to get it in the right spot or will cause more pain and not help and then they sometimes don’t want to take it out. So get in writing that they wil removed it if not happy with it.

I have consultation with my Dr tomorrow. My thought is that the spondylosis has advanced too far for it to help. We see what the Dr says. I appreciate the infro. Thank-you

i had steroid shots multiple times, those just wore off too quickly and eventually did nothing. They went straight to nerve burns after that, Those are the two i described prior. That was many many years ago before they even tested prior or called it ablation. I was awake the whole time and they poked various places while looking on the image from the C-arm. It was brutal but worth it the first round. My friend had ablation and her pain never came back. It varies for each person.

i had those twice, the first time it took a few days for it to relieve some of the pain, Relief lasted almost 6 months. The second on lasted less than a month , so i gave up on them.
