Told to wait 8 weeks after injection before they will assess me, then operation, anyone been through this with any advice, I have been told with fibromyalgia there is an increased risk with the anaesthetic, anyone have knowledge that this is correct
I’m in so much pain I don’t know what to do next

Partially
But day after the ablation, period started so bit hard to tell. Stupid bodies.

My low bsck injections I had last month did eventually start helping. In that area anyhow.

But that was bilateral - (both sides ) ones I got before in that spot was bit different.

I totally agree with your qs up above. Can't really answer it give helpful info without getting more from them first

Hi
Thank you for replying, I’m on a lot of extra painkillers., there’s nothing that I can think of that started,it with the fibromyalgia I’ve had a bad back,for years
this is so more more painful to be able to do anything as I’m sure you already know with the horrendous fibro pain which is making it worse
I’ve seen chiropractor, had messages , a few different physio’s and acupuncture, nothing has made any difference. I’m really worried about having the operation but I don’t see it getting better anytime soon if I don’t have it

Hoping the shot works for you!!!
Have u been dealing with this for a long time? Wondering if you have tried pain meds or PT?

Do u know what is causing the pain? I know some people on this site have gotten ablations that have helped….

Also wondering if you have gotten a second opinion?
