I came to find; most of my pain was caused by nerves getting irritated, then causing swelling & muscle spasms.... putting further pressure on my nerves...
That being said...
Every time "foreign objects" (needled) are intoduced into that environment, it causes more chaos than calm. If tgat makes sense.
I ramble a bit, but I'm hoping you're pickin' up what I'm putting down. LoL
To date, I've had 431 spinal infections, and around 80 nerve ablation procedures.
The best result I've had was 2 months of reduced pain. The worst results actually almost killed me.
Be very cautious around those doctors... PLEASE! I wouldn't wish my experiences with "pain mgmt" on my worst enemy.
