Thank you, Georgia. I definitely will update everyone. They are doing both sides of her lower back in one session as it was too difficult for the pm to get the anesthesiologist for two sessions.
She has a wc hearing on Thursday, January 3. Hopefully that will go well. The company and their insurance carrier is giving her a very difficult time. That is how it goes with workman's comp cases from what I understand.
Thanks gain for your reply.

Hello.
The procedure where they burn the nerves is called Radio Frequency Ablation. Here is a link to a good article that talks about this procedure: http://www.webmd.com/cancer/tc/radiofrequency-lesioning-for-chronic-pain-
This article is about cancer pain, but it applies to back pain as well.
My wife is having this procedure performed by her pain management specialist this coming Thursday morning. She has a work-related back injury that occurred last March and has has several types of therapy including lidocaine shots.
Other websites that have good information regarding spinal problems and treatments are:
WebMD Back Pain Health Center: http://www.webmd.com/back-pain/default.htm
Spine-Health: http://www.spine-health.com/
Spine Universe: http://www.spineuniverse.com/
Keep doing your research. Keep moving as much as possible. Keep a positive attitude.
I hope your procedure goes well and you can get relief.View Thread

I see nothing in your post about seeing your doctor. We are not allowed to diagnose or give medical advice in any WebMD community. Not even the assigned Health Experts can do this. It is also impossible to diagnose or give a medical opinion over any internet message board.
You need to see your doctor for evaluation and treatment.View Thread

Hello.
I am sorry to read of your pain and how you feel defeated. I understand about your pain and the financial concerns all too well..
Please keep doing your research. There are many websites like spine-health.com, spineuniverse.com and the WebMD Back Pain Health Center that can give you good information.
Have you contracted an attorney to help you file for SSD? That is usually the most successful method.
Know you are not alone. There are many people here on WebMD who are living your same experiences. It is important to do your best to keep doing your research, keep as active as possible, and keep a positive attitude.
I will be praying for you and offer good thoughts. Please keep us updated and come anytime to ask questions or just to vent.View Thread

Kim,
There is a vast difference between being addicted to prescription pain medication and becoming addicted. Very few chronic pain patients actually become addicted.
Be careful what you tell others - family, friends, even your husband. The can not fully understand until they have experienced pain themselves. It is usually best to suffer in silence, as they say.
I can only take enteric coated aspirin and a prescription muscle relaxer for my chronic pain. I am allergic to all else or it does not work for me. I rely more on a good mattress, good recliner and hydrotherapy. We have a hot tub but I am looking to sell it and buy a walk-on whirlpool tub for our bathroom. Many people have tried meditation, bio-feedback, cognitive therapy, and have seen a psychologist or psychiatrist that specialized in treating chronic pain patients.
So, there are many ways to manage chronic pain in addition to prescription pain medication.
Keep doing your research. Keep moving as much as possible. Keep a positive attitude.View Thread

You need to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment. Diagnosis over an internet message board is impossible. I can and will share that I have had these symptoms when I have been diagnosed by my doctor with a urinary tract infection. Your doctor will be able to tell exactly what is causing your symptoms.
If cost is a factor, search for a low or no cost clinic in your area. If you do not have a primary or family doctor, then go to an urgent care clinic.View Thread

Hi, Kim.
You have already been given excellent advice with which I agree 100%. It is your body, your pain, your health and you and your doctor decide what is best for you.
About the diet, I know I suffer because I am obese. My poor decrepit spine is not supporting all this extra weight. I'm trying to make healthy choices, but it is hard - especially at this time of year. I feel best when I follow a diet low in carbohydrates and high in lean proteins, dairy products and veggies like the South Beach Diet. It is a proven fact that carbohydrates increase pain in patients with arthritis, DDD, and other spinal problems. White starches are not right - try to stick to whole grains like brown rice, multi-grain breads and whole-wheat pastas. Above all, everything in moderation.
Come here any time to ask questions or to vent. We are here and we definitely understand.View Thread

Hi again, foreversore.
I understand about the MRI. My reports look similar. Now it is up to two pages with the phrases "advanced" and "severe" appearing far more than I would like to see. Uggghhh.
I will be praying and hoping your pm doctor gets back to you soon, like now - today!
Have a blessed and thankful Thursday.
