Hi everyone,
I am 53 years old and have had scoliosis since I was 13 years old. It wasn't until 8 years ago that I started having problems. I use to be an advid walker but each year I've had to cut back more and more because of the pain. I've had epidural injections, facet joint injections and recently they wanted me to do a nerve abalation procedure. Has anyone had this procedure done? If so, do you feel it was worth it?
I see the surgeon on April 9 and have all kinds of questions for him. I have a double curve and from what I have heard from people who have had surgery, it isn't a pleasant surgery to go through.
I would just really like to hear from some people who have had the surgery and/or RF ablation procedure and your thoughts on either one.
