My insurance covered it, I had a 300.00 copay. That hurt a bit in the wallet.... I used a credit card, because I don't have that kind of money laying around. The first of four time's didn't work as good as the last 3 time's, 1st time was a different doctor. Last 3 were same doctor. It really only helps my sciatica, but, as you know, that can actually be a lot. It's almost time to go have it done again. Best of wishes!
I did about 3 years ago.
It worked for about 6 months. For me it was a relief 5-6 months .
For me it was worth the relief.
Like you I am disabled and unable to work. It's hard enough trying to take care of myself honestly. But I never give up. AS DDD, IBS, ARTHRITIS & FIBROMYALGIA pretty much kick my butt on a daily basis, but I try to move forward. Some days my forward starts with three steps back. It's all we can do, battle on and one foot in front of the other
Thanks Rick no hotties unfortunately. And I am unable to work. I am on disability. Take my friend. How about you?
Hey @AllenStone
I'm still kicking, had a busy Monday and Tuesday with Dr's, that beat me up, today was a flare up day. Good news Tuesday from my Cardiologist, after a five year battle my ticker an I are working together again, and we have normal numbers in Triglycerides and just outside the high ldl marker at 117 down from 253! Yikes I was scared.
I have had the radio frequency nerve Ablation 4 times now, and I feel a fifth time coming soon. It helps my sciatica a great deal. About 80% this last time. Key is finding a good Dr to do it.
How have you been otherwise Allen? Any new hotties 🔥 in your life? Are you working?
Wishing you a well night and better tomorrow Allen !
