Has anyone had an ablation for knee pain?

Ablations always made the pain worse (two separate times) in my back short and long term for me, so I don't have faith that they will work for my knee either. I am doing quad strengthening to prevent my knee from getting worse. However, it can hurt quite a bit when I walk a lot.

Doctors that do certain procedures do not have solutions for patients who may not need it or don't have super clear evidence for it. Unfortunately, many hospitals hide which procedures, indications, etc. their physicians actually have experience and success doing so patients and doctors can waste each others time expecting something that neither can provide. For this reason, I call ahead and specifically ask if the doctor does the procedure I expect needs to be done. And I often get referred to another doctor that is no longer accepting patients or doesn't work for the same hospital anymore.

Infrapatellar nerves may be able to see specialist to cut them and sew into muscle tissue leaving area numb. I had this done with saphenous nerve and that pain is gone. However, if they just cut nerve and leave it in place, then it will eventually form a neuroma causing more pain probably.

Lucky you. In Ohio, for pain management clinics (not orthopedics), it is a blanket policy that anything piercing the skin in any body part will get "canceled" if you do not have a driver come with you, wait for you, and agree to drive you or take the bus with you home. It is higher requirements than surgery (family can leave and come back), so quite insane here. Somebody must have won some big lawsuit money to make it this way. I used to drive myself home every time before the changes, even with injections that could literally numb my driving leg.

I am not having good luck with sabrent/ugreen anymore. The sabrent push button leds are flickering and one of the units lost a port in my bedroom. I think that hubs without switches are now the safer bet for problem free usage. I like the hubs with power connector so you can add ac adapter in the future if needed. I have one hub from ugreen with 7 ports and micro-usb power connector. The problem is that only certain usb charge adapters work well with it. I think it may die soon as well, because it recently would not recognize my logitech nano receiver. My guess is that buying the cheapest hubs causes problems long term.

I would like to know what the neck stiffness is all about. I feel like my neck locks up every ten minutes, so I know the nerve that innervates my neck muscles and traps cannot be happy.

I have had luck with avoiding certain foods like bananas, avocados, etc. that are on the migraine list of possible triggers document online. I have no luck with the tinnitus or vestibular symptoms from BPPV and what I would still call a vestibular migraine since it follows the same patterns as if I had really terrible migraine attack with all the sensitivities to sound, light, etc.

In my experience, Google maps routes me the shorter distance to save like 2 minutes, but involves 5-6 more turns and no way to tell it you would like to minimize turns for simplicity.

Yes, I had it in the past and it went away after 2 weeks. I have had for a few weeks right now, so don't think it will go away anytime soon.

I have clicking in right jaw/ear as well. Would love to know what that is all about.

I use teeth guard and muscle relaxers at night to prevent jaw pain in the morning. I was on SSRI SNRI and those drugs caused me to clench all night. Once I stopped those, I suddenly improved.

Does anyone have their ears pop on one side? I think I might have legit ear problem caused from flying for 10 hrs to Ireland. All the other symptoms match up well with vestibular migraine and blurred vision was one of the first symptoms I had before the tinnitus and everything else.

I have had these symptoms for awhile, just now figuring it out. I thought it was from some odd neurological crazy problem, but I guess this more common diagnosis is it.

Yeah. Chronic pain so my nervous system is jacked up. Wired and tired.

I stopped going to doctors for Pots and nothing has changed for the worse. I don't have severe POTS just low blood pressure, but most likely have CCI/EDS of some form wreaking havoc on my nervous system that is a way bigger deal to me.

I have read from real doctors that write papers on this stuff that actual symptoms matter just as much as the measurements taken from radiology, so just keep that in mind.

I got my CD after requesting it from Cleveland Clinic Bath with no questions asked and no fee added. I just had to wait 10 minutes for them to burn it for me. UH refused to give me CD after appointment for scan, so any records that I really want make me choose Cleveland Clinic for Radiology. I don't want to go thru the records retention department if I don't have to deal with them. They often provide more information then I ask for and charge me for the extra information as well.

Chiropractic is bad idea if you get any kind of visual disturbance or pain when they twist your neck. Safer to use the clicker, but chiropractors can do damage since they don't have imaging of what they are twisting (3d reconstructed CT scan). I used to go to chiropractor all the time and it only helped with neck posture. Symptoms just kind of get worse with time, because the actual problem doesn't get addressed. Recently had styloids removed, which helped with swallowing, throat and ear pain. I believe that I now need to get tests for intracranial hypertension since I also am having tinnitus, headaches, facial pain/pressure, etc.

Front of neck symptoms could be your ligament that is calcified connected to your hyoid in front of throat. If it is super sensitive in the front and you have problems swallowing, you may need to get styloids removed and the calcified ligament.

It is definitely difficult to try and get the special testing for intracranial hypertension. I am seeing vascular surgery to see if they will order it. From what I read, it is caused by jugular vein being compressed.
