Re: Finding a radiologist to read MRI reports

November 7, 2011

Hi , everyone needs to vent, so don't feel like you can't. Have they

offered R.F.A. to you? It is called radio frequency ablation and they find

the nerve that's causing the pain and burn it. It was offered to me after

nothing else worked on my right leg. Good luck and I will pray for you.

Hi, .

I am no expert, but I also suffer from many nerves here and there, which are

trapped in scar tissues from the 4 surgeries I have had in the past, the last

surgery was 20 years ago. I think the sooner they treat the nerve or nerves in

question, the less pain there will be for you.

I do wish they would perfect the procedure called Neurography soon, so they can

actually see where those damaged nerves are and kill the pain for us all. In the

meantime, I keep praying that Medicare won't interrupt my own pain medication

when we are forced to switch (because hubby will be 65).

I feel like I am barely hanging from a thread between functioning and agony for

all the pain areas that don't show up on a test result.

my body goes into a cascade of coping mechanisms including muscles spasms, etc.
