Nerve Blocks for Chronic Pain: What You Should Know:
I’m currently 19 years old and experienced daily back pain and they want me to do this to y’all think this is safe? Or smart?
I just had 8 of these injections from my lower to upper back. NOW I AM IN 20X MORE PAIN. 😭
Why do you reuse your gloves?
Hello! Can I ask, why we can’t go straight to the ablation? Is it really important to do the diagnostic first?
It definitely is. I was thinking this today, too, as I just had my first nerve block test today in my neck. The way he explained it made sense. They have to target specific small areas to figure out exactly what's causing your pain. Then, they have to double-check to make sure it wasn't a fluke the first time. Then they can go in for the ablation because they know exactly what to target at that point. I was annoyed too, but I get why it's necessary. Also, insurance dictates it, at least in my area of the US.
Interventiol pain management is docs medacare frude arrest these thefs
for refractory angina. I had t3, t4 and t5 block and radiofrequency done. After the procedure, my throat is constantly tight and I can't breathe. From where
Please is this the same as thermal ablation?
Did anyone have skin breakdown with the battery holder device with the nalu system?
I have these done. It has never lasted me 1-2 years.. 7mos at best
That destroyed the skin on my back!!! I HAD IT DONE 3 TIMES.... NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN
Did they barbecue the skin ?
Yes please explain more! This is an option my doctor gave me
@@jadeosborn9362 I've had this done many, many times along with epidurals. This is, by far, my preferred method. Not the side effects of steroids. It is very safe and effective.
I have a very high tolerance for pain, got the sedation option, and STILL cried. Got it in my cervical spine. C3-C7. Still hurts like hell 10 mins later, but praying for long term relief. My left side is in 2 weeks 🙏🏼
Can a person be allergic to the cement?
Okayc
I was in a car accident in 2020 and broke my back. I had to get a spinal fusion from T10-L2 with 2 rods and 10 screws. Fast forward 3/12 years… I’m experiencing excruciating pain. My T10 screw is coming lose since the bone never fused correctly. On top of that my s1 joint is inflamed. I get my injection for my s1 joint at the end of the month. Then I will have to get my T10 bone and screw resolved. Wish me luck! Thank you for your video and knowledge😀
A rather weak video and they do NOT show the surgery. Best of luck!
Wow! I am so glad for you, as my injury came at work outside my job description. I fix cars, period. But the boss, in 1986, who spent 3-4 months trying to hire me away from a shop 3 blocks away, lead to the is farm boy, age 28 operating a rented earth compaction machine that looked dry, but turned to mud. 5hrs latter after pulling this "Jumping Jack" out of mud, to a new location my back was sore. Shut it off drove home, told my wife and drank a beer with a Tylenol and went to sleep. Waking in the AM what felt like the worst sunburn ever. But not a sunburn as it was torn muscle tissue turned to scar tissue. 3 surgeries later, ending in a bone fusion of S1-L4, my Dr. pulled a chair and told me I could expect pain when older as arthritis starts to set in. Boy he was right in 1987. Now RFA, epidural injections, two more fusions, I was burning at 6'3" just to get tools from top drawer. Run to chair and sit. So SCS from Medtronics! Trail was great with 60-70% pain relief. Only epidural's lasted 1 1/2 days, then burning came back. Permanent implant came quick and once on, it went down both legs into my heels. Whoops! The Rep. called, I told him and things got quiet. A third attempt came 5 months later, nothing on the left, 2" away on the right and still use a cane to walk bent. The had an engineer move the stimulus but no go. Sending an email to say they could no longer be of help! Have a good life! What? I have seen 4-5 videos where the wake the patient in O.R. and the rep tries generic signals letting them reply for location. Everyone is different but they couldn't understand why I wanted this. God it was painful to lay there awake while sewing me up. No one understood! The Dr. won't even return calls. Then 20hrs of Ketamine I.V. drip out of pocket, nothing. Then todays current opioid scare, took mine away while still in pain & my GP dropped me after 27yrs. with a new pain center. Now I call in Rx and see them once every 3 months. I am put on the North 40, expected to shut up and go away! No help... I am stunned. Can mow, garden, cook, drive, work on cars, showers are hard and no opioids. This sucks.
What do I have to do if I am truly interested I know I can benefit from this I know that this is something I want to do help me please
You need to make an appointment with a doctor (probably a neurologist) to evaluate you and make a plan
This made my pain worse for up to 3 months. Not as bad as a Si joint injection but also very painful. Had to ice the spot for weeks. Physical therapy did help some. Now I’m back to square one. Basically didn’t do anything.
Can I get this?
Had my intrathecal morphine injection trial 5/9/24 and a couple hours later I felt ZERO pain. I suffer from protruded discs & nerve impingement & post laminectomy syndrome. Had my laminectomy done on my L4/L5/S1 3 years ago and it lasted about 14 months & scar tissue from that surgery enhanced itself & started to wrap around my L5/S1 nerve root, pinching my nerve root, as well as that same disc starting to bulge ontop of it. Had a spinal cord stimulator trial for about a week a month before my pain pump trial that gave me no relief whatsoever. Later that same day as my pain pump trial, (5/9/24) unfortunately I suffered from urinary retention & needed to go to ER to have a bladder catheter inserted in me to drain my bladder. Ended up going home with it that night, but ended up taking the catheter out myself shortly after I got home because there was a draining issue/blockage & I was pissing outside of the catheter all over myself. As the morphine wore off the next day, my bladder function started to normalize again. My pain doctor who did the trial said it’s one of the possible side effects but he thinks it would eventually go away on its own if I decided to get the permanent device. Had to wait for my insurance company for the approval of the actual device. But I told my doctor I still wanted to go ahead & move forward in getting it because that’s the 1st time in 20 years that I’ve ever had pain relief like that! Just got the call today from my pain doctor (6/25/24) that my insurance approved it & I immediately scheduled to get the surgery this Thursday (6/27/24). I cannot wait to get that pain relief again! I’ve been on Percocet & Gabapentin for the past 2 years with little to no effect. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I don’t experience the urinary retention again, or if I do, it’ll only be temporary.. It’s a trade-off/risk I’m willing to take for this kind of pain relief. I’ll update my results after my surgery to let everyone know how it’s going. Good luck to anyone getting this surgery!
Your L5-S1 scar tissue situation sounds like mine. I've had L4-5 fusion, and still have right side pain in right upper buttock. I was planning on trying an SCS next. I'm glad to hear a pain pump is also an option. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@phxrt3608best of luck to you with your journey! I had the scs surgery trial & unfortunately did nothing for me. I’m one of the few weird cases because those scs allegedly work for the majority. Thoughts & prayers to you I hope you feel better soon!
How are you now? Had your pain issue resolved after pump installation? And what about your urinary retention problem?
@@zahidimran1 for the 1st couple weeks, I got 100% pain reduction, but it’s now at about 75% which is great! My doctor will be adjusting the dosage every visit to get me where he wants it. I’ve been dialed up past 2 visits with him. He also put me on Dilaudid instead of Morphine. As far as Urinary Retention, I definitely experienced again the 1st day or 2 after surgery, but I managed to push through it. I’m able to urinate fine now after the 2nd or 3rd day. Just takes time to get use to it. I’m currently am on 0.2mg Dilaudid twice per day, that’s how he has it programmed. I’m happy with it. Much better than oral medication I can definitely say that much!
I had a bilateral ablation on May 1st of this year. It was lumbar and three on each side. The three on the right side were completely painless. As was the lower one on the left side. The center and top left hurt like I've never felt before. My Dr had to use an additional 4 Lidocaine injections just to able to finish. I don't think i will ever do this again. I trust my Dr and shecis extremely attentive. I have five different conditions in my lumbar area. This helped maybe two of them. I was out for five days after the procedure due to being in pain. I was out of work last week four out of five days with severe pain. My Dr is very concerned that i didn't get as much relief as she had hoped. She now ordered a new set of X-rays to see if anything else is going on.
I've heard mixed reviews about pain pumps. Especially for people like me who have substance use disorder and very high opiod tolerance (prescription medications, not heroin)
TREAT PAIN WITH FDA APPROVED OPIOIDS
I'm getting my pain pump tomorrow, 6/13/24. I've been in pain management since 2001. My trial went great - felt almost no pain for the first time in 23 years. Suffering from spinal pain and cancer pain. I've had 12 operations on my spine and am battling advanced stage prostate cancer. I know it's not going to eliminate my pain but, I'm hoping to get some relief.
Hello mate. Could you share an update in a few weeks? I am very interested to hear how it goes for you and others here. I'm also a chronic pain patient here in Australia. I've also tried everything and had many surgeries. Hope to hear from you if you have the time. Cheers and all the best to you 🙏
@@JakkleRunnerCashman-mk8jm I certainly will. We all need to stick together in this battle.
How’s it going so far?
@@JakkleRunnerCashman-mk8jm It’s been 19 days since getting my pump. I am extremely pleased with the results. I’ve had 2 visits with the doctor. The first was one week after surgery to remove the staples from my back. The second was today for a slight increase in my dosage. I’m happy to report that I’m getting just barely over 0.5 milligrams of morphine every 24 hours and my pain level is less than 1!! My worst pain during these first 19 days has been around the incision in my left abdomen where the pump was placed. Fortunately, that pain is down to about a 2 now. I have 30 more days of wearing the abdominal binder and maybe will wear it for another week or two to make sure the pump has scarred in really good. I haven’t had any issues or side effects with the pump or medication. I am following my doctors’ instructions closely, yes, I had my pain doctor and a general surgeon do my implant. Pain doctor placed the catheter and general surgeon placed the pump. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had gotten a pain pump years ago.
@@Vv20vV I just posted an update in the comments section. Please let me know if you don’t see it.
I had my test done yesterday it worked well I'm looking forward to this procedure next month.
Today is my procedure
how long does nerve block last? had it done 2 weeks ago for ankle surgery and my leg still feels a little numb
I just had this done today and surprised by how well it lessened my pain. I never heard of these facet joints or those nerves before now. Hoping the second test goes just as well and then I can get the ablation, which I am told can last up to 6 months. It will be great to be able to move around normally again.
Thank you I just finished my trial and waiting to be scheduled for the implant. I actually had activity ring on my watch for the first time in 3 years. So yes I am very excited about this thank you
Thank you for this video. I get RFA on my neck in a couple of weeks. Previously, no one (even a neurosurgeon) told me it existed, the VA has had me jumping thru hoops for 18 months trying different therapies that failed. I'm so glad I found out about it!
I get my trial on Monday 😬
How do you feel?
@@nil2thebrain Thanks for asking! I’m pretty much back to square one right now, meaning I feel like trash. The trial only lasted 5 days instead of 7 as one of the leads came out & I got a massive shock on the side where it was still attached. So I had to turn it off earlier, but I did get some relief out of it. It’s a little hard to judge because it took about 2 days for the horrible pain to go away from the lead insertion (I have a ridiculous amount of weird health issues & it takes me forever to heal, so even from that little amount I was in excruciating pain.) Once that eased up I definitely had relief but then it cut out so I don’t know if I would have had more. I’ve got up to 6 months to decide if I want to go through with the surgery or not but I have some reservations & am trying to find out if anyone with my genetic disorder had it done, & if so how it went. I don’t know what I was expecting but it literally feels like a TENS unit but underneath your skin. It’s worth doing the trial, especially if you’re having trouble lessening your pain with traditional methods.
I have had 2 and neither worked at all
I've just been told that I have to have two cortisone injections in my hips due to bursa, and I can't get anti inflammatory medication because I have heart issues.😢 I'm scared it's gonna hurt, people keep laughing and saying "oh better you than me ohhh it's going to hurt real bad".
@@Scottish-girlI had a hip injection. There wasn’t much pain to it, just a lot of pressure. The numbing spray was more irritating than the injection. You should be fine. Just breathe and don’t move during the injection. 😊
Thankyou,I'm dreading it 😱
I've had this procedure more times than I can remember for over a decade I'd say. Works well for me. I usually get one once a year or so.
I'm curious about the NO FEEL STIMULATOR
I have the nevro hfx in my back. Had it for two weeks and I never could get it set right. My wife got fed up watching me trying to work the settings. She took it from me , made an adjustment to it and now I'm pain free. Go figure.
Doctor, be careful of your neck, you tend to lean to one side.
I have hesitated to get an RFA but now that a knee replacement is on the horizon I am hoping that an RFA can be a stop gap solution. My hesitation is in regards to the amount of radiation one is exposed to. Does anyone know how many millisieverts are emitted during an RFA? If it can be done with an ultrasound, I would be on board.
More horror stories about spinal cord stimulators emerge as calls grow for action to protect patients ABC Investigations / By Adele Ferguson and Chris Gillett Posted Sun 28 Apr 2024 -In short: More patients have detailed their bad experiences with spinal cord stimulators and the surgery to install them following a Four Corners investigation. - Patient advocates and private health insurers are calling for the immediate recall and suspension of the devices pending an investigation by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). -What's next? Health Minister Mark Butler has asked the TGA for an urgent update on its review of stimulators, which has been going for more than two years. Google it
Is this very painful without sedation?
No it’s not but they will give you a numbing shot It works if the doctor is good! I only works for a few months then round 2 !
@@jameswhite1319 Ok thanks I thought this procedure would last longer than a few months.
had a MBA (high frequency) yesterday. I was the Drs last procedure of the day. While in the waiting room prior to procedure, he walked to me without a greeting to mark my back. I could see he was in a bad mood. Once wheeled in, he again did not greet me like he had during the prior two diagnostic procedures. I could see his agitation while he fumbled at untying knotted up wires. During the beginning of the ablation I began to first get very dizzy to almost faint, than my speech became slow, jumbled and slurred, stroke-like. I sounded drunk. I got scared but he never reassured me. What the heck caused that?? I was later told it was a normal side effect by the nurse who wheeled me out. Speech slowly resolved over a period of 45min. Other bizarre, unexpected, and not explained things happened during the procedure. I got intense rapid shock-like spasms in my lower back & butt and my arms began to spasm and twitch. He only asked and seemed satisfied that my feet and legs were not spasming. I realize Drs are human and have bad days but damn.
I had one done in May 2019. My procedure was completely pain free, took about 15 minutes and lasted an amazing 5 years. I’m getting another procedure today.
5 years??… How successful was it the second time?
WOW! I read about a half dozen comments about the horrible pain of this procedure. This has NOT been my experience. The initial test run hurts more than the abalation. Still i would say it is highly uncomfortable versus the horrible pain some people have described. I have had multiple ablations done over the years on 12 nerves. 3 on each side of the lower back and 3 on each SI Joint. The test procedure hurts more than the ablation. For the ablation, i have been given IV Xanax. I have a fantastic Doctor and staff.
I'm hoping you might be able to help It appears a nerve block during a rotator cuff surgery has left me with a blood clot and half of my right lung being nonfunctional.. Will not go into the specifics of the lack of response from the doctor who performed the surgery but a hospital stay was able to get me out of immmediat distress. A VERY GOOD PA was able to help me out with determing what was going on. Comparing pre op xrays and CTs he has determined half.of.my right lung is no functionimg . He researched and determined it may be necessary to have a surgeon go in and perform repair/ pressure release surgery on that chest nerve We are not able to locate a surgeon that can perform this surgery. I am close to the Dallas FT Worth area , there was a surgeon in that area who performed the surgery , but he is no longer a available (retirement??? Not sure) In any case do you have a referral of a surgeon who may be able to help and has experience with this post op /nerve block damage issue?
How is the recovery time starting day one through day 5 I'm getting ready to do the surgery but I need I'm by myself and I need to know if I need to go into a convalescent hospital or not I don't have anybody to help me and I have a dog that's pretty big and strong that I have to take out so I might have to put her in boarding I need this information I cannot find it on anywhere online so somebody can please let me know even the doctor if you read this
Where do you live, Stephen?
Yall need to all ask yourselves. What's the chances of ppl saying these positive things about the stimulator Being paid ?$?$? 😮 i wld say pretty good wouldnt you?
My left foot and leg are numb now and I can't walk which before I got the shot I was able to walk what went wrong ?
Tomorrow is my big day for this procedure! I had two back surgeries and neck surgeries in 2000 through 2007. In 2014 I had a left knee replacement that went bad! I ended up with nerve damage in my leg and now I have it in both legs! It has been unbearable so my pain specialist recommend this procedure! Well I am putting myself in god hands and praying this works!
Update?
The procedure did not work as I hope!
Good for you, I've had two and they definetely work wonders. Hope you get much relief!
What’s the price range for this procedure?
I had this done 7 weeks ago with a local anesthetic. The first 2 weeks, I had to go back because I was still in pain and was given a couple of trigger shots in the area, which kept the pain at bay for another few weeks. Let's say I'm on my way back to the Dr. to find out why I'm still in pain.
I'm going in the morning to get it done! I am in so much pain!! Thankful for this procedure🙏🏾🙂
