Yesterday I had a procedure called Radio Frequency Ablation ( #RFA ) which burned the nerve endings in my back. I have several disc herniations in my L5-S1 region as well as bilateral radiculopathy (sciatica due to pinched nerves).

My doctor then suggested RFA. In order to do this, he had to perform 2 test procedures.

The injection site doesn’t feel as sore & my normal back pain isn’t there.
I’m still having really bad sciatica pain which is now shooting from my hips to my ankles. On a scale of 1-10 I’m at a 9. I spoke to my doctor again & was told this will go away soon. Grrr
