Struggling with Chronic Pain

Hey all. Just a little note to hi. I'm really struggling with a lot of pain lately. I had RF ablation done on both knees and it seemed to have made things worse, but I'm doing my best.

staying positive is the best way. People that know me at work, both coworkers and patients, are always surprised with everything that I go through that I'm always in such a good mood. But when I'm Not in a jovial mood, they know something is really wrong. Thankfully that doesn't happen very often.

I am sorry the RF Ablation is not working for you. I had immediate relief and it has been 2+ months. Sometimes i overdo and my body lets me know i am done even though i am not really feeling the bone on bone part of my knee. I stand for my job 4-5 hours a day. And i was afraid i was going to have to quitin the weeks before i got the RF Ablation. My back i get an epidural on and i am fortunate it lasts me a whole year. i know people are able to get it done more often. I just usually do not need it. I also get trigger point injections and those i get every 3 months. I hope you find something that helps your pain

The pain after RFA does last for a bit. It is miserable. I hope you have lots of ice packs. Sending you healing thoughts and gentle hugs. I did ok having it in my neck, but my lower back was so painful. Thinking of you. 🤗

my RFA was in July and I was doing well for a few weeks, now things seem to be back sliding. I couldn't imagine having it done again anywhere else, especially my low back. I'm so glad it worked for you for your neck
