I am on the waitlist for cervical spine Radiofrequency Neurotomy. I had a C4-C5 cervical spine surgery with iliac bone fusion in Sept 2019. It did not resolve the pain, it worsened the pain and further decreased range of motion. I also had a fusion at L4-L5 in 2002, and lumbo-sacral tarlov cysts removed in 2021 (since grew back). I have advanced OA (cervical spine greatly affected), tarlov cysts, and Myofascial Syndrome. For those that had the procedure done, what was your experience and… read more

10 years!! Resting up now and hope to be smart about it not collapse after!! I have a tendency to push too hard and then be sorry. How do you deal with overexertion?

So I'm just wondering if I can buy or get on prescription entonox or also known as gas and air for home. I've noted it's brilliant for when my pain is at it's height and I am really stuck. I would like that minus the hospital visit.
Any advice is a help. Thankyou for reading ❤

I having been dealing with shoulder pain in both shoulders for about 2 years. I was seeing my rheumatologist for it- he really did nothing. I went to see my ortho dr. He immediately did xrays and sent me to physical therapy in September. It has helped some- with pain management- but has not and is not going to fix the problems.
