Has Anyone With AS Had A Sacroiliac Ablation?
Most of my daily pain is in my SI joints, therefore I am going to see a pain management specialist and discuss having a SI joint ablation. I have had a SI joint injection that worked wonders for about 3 weeks. Was wondering if anyone else with AS and SI joint pain has had an ablation of the nerves in the joint and if so, what was their results.
Yes I did a double SI ablation in February with local anesthesia. My doc skipped the test somehow. Turned out to be horrible. Sent me into a flare for 6 weeks. But remember that everyone is different… read more

Epidural Or Ablation?
Hola everyone!! Hope everyone is managing and having a great day. I have a question for anyone that has had an epidural or ablation? I just had me 2nd round of medial branch blocks from my L4 to S1 And now I’m scheduled for an epidural instead of ablation. He said he was afraid ablation would t work and didn’t want to try it just yet. What’s anyones thought or opinion on it. Thanks!!
I’ve had both. They tried ablation 2 different times, didn’t help and it was so painful. Epidurals help some. For me, SI injections work the longest & best. Good luck, keep your light shining.

Ablation
My doctor has been testing my nerve respons via putting me in a light sleep then poking my nerves with lidocaine type injections. Then I post how long they lasted i.e. 1 hour to 2 days. Now he wants to do several ablations both lower back and cervical (different sessions). Has anyone had success with this?
