How Can Chronic Backache Be Treated?
I recently had a nerve block as a diagnostic tool preceeding RFI. I found no relief. Can other nerve blocks in different areas be tried. This is my last resort for chronic back pain. I have already had two spinal fusions. I was looking for reviews from patients who had RFI procedures too. YYYY@YYYY

Dear patient
nerve blocks are good measure to reduce pain if other procedures fail. please give detailed history. why you have undergone spinal fusions on two occasions? at which level it was done? lumbar or cervical? was mri of indicated region done? this history is required so that I can suggest you further treatment. nerve blocks are given by pain intervention specialist with good results. patient selection is very important. thanks.
