I've had so many injections and ablations this year so far and none of them have helped. My doctor wants to now do a BVN.
Does anyone have an opinion on this procedure?
Basivertebral Nerve ablation
Thanks, Judi
I have had many nerve ablations to my low back. None of them worked. They were thousands of dollars each. The pain clinic would not wrote my scripts until I did so. Needless to say, I am no longer there!
Basivertebral nerve ablation is usually considered for chronic low back pain coming from vertebral endplates, especially when other treatments have not worked. Some people report good relief, but results can vary depending on the exact cause of pain. It is worth asking your doctor how they confirmed you are a good candidate and what outcomes to expect. If possible, try to hear experiences from others who had the same procedure before deciding.
If that is electronic nerve stimulation, yes I had it temporarily installed for a 45 day trial. It generated a LOT of pain. They experimented with alternate settings. They removed it and suggested a morphine pump. I then did not trust them so I still live with the pain. I agree with Tim111
Thats a dam shame! What do they care about, how you feel or how much money can they get from you.
