I guess it's what you would call minimally invasive. It may or may not work, and if it does it's usually short term and can bring diminishing results over time. I will be seeing my neurologist tomorrow and my pain doc's assistant on Wednesday so I will ask their opinion. I also have serious balance issues.
I have suggested to a couple folks that maybe they should run a MRI with 3D imaging on the area where I seem to have the most issues, but they say it isn't warranted.
Curious as to how you ended up? I’ve got a mess in my lower back. L5 is gone, L4 is 50% gone. Pars defect, arthritis, and I’m only 44. Been through 4 ablations in the last year, I don’t know how many injections under the xray machine, 3 rounds of PT, and a pile of pills. Dr. Says I’m too young for surgery. Eliminating carbs and losing weight seems to help with the inflammation but it sure has been a long road being poked and prodded the last few years.
