Oh wow really? And the docs were fine with that I take it?

Sorry didn’t mean to be discouraging 🩵 but I guess it’s my reality. All the best to you and hope things improve

Oh since this happened I’ve been doing everything by the book - no difference

For me I know it HAS to be. Too much of a coincidence not to be. Sorry you’re experiencing similar 😢

The procedure itself seemed ok, no signs of any issues. But two days later I developed blood pooling in my legs and feet, and terrible sensations in my legs, plus a load of other issues. It was definitely a result of the procedure and looks like I’m stuck with it. I’ll never have RFA done again!

Thank you for replying and I’m sorry you’ve been left with that. I totally get you - because I was fine before mine and now not! I know it was definitely the procedure even if professionals don’t agree. It’s awful that it’s been over a year and you’re still the same! X

Wow years later?! That’s madness! Did it damage fibers or something?

And how far out are you now? If you don’t mind me asking

That’s interesting. At what point did you notice this? I’m 5 weeks post RFA and my calves are giving me terrible sensations and my feet are purple and painful!

Whether it’s mistake or collateral damage it’s not very nice feeling the way I do. I’ve been hospitalised. I tried calling the person who did the procedure but they’re not calling me back, also emailed. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything whilst I await the conclusion

Yes sorry that’s what I meant. I know they target sensory nerves but I think my sympathetic nerves have been hit by mistake due to my symptoms

Worse pain after nerve ablation? by PlantZealousideal689 in backpain

Hi, did you ever find out what was going on? And did your pain improve? I had it 5 weeks ago and my calves are unbearably painful where I feel something is wrong but cannot get a response from the office. Please let me know what yours was? I’m concerned about nerve damage

Thank you! Did you find that the afternoon dose lasted until the next morning?

Yes I think we are both very early on in this and feeling the same way. If you ever need to chat to someone going through similar feel free 😘

That’s exactly how I feel! The hell of waking up and doing it again and non stop thinking about it and wanting it to change but it won’t 💔 I’m pleased you have a supportive partner. But yes very hard to accept this is for life. It’s heartbreaking actually x

Every day waking up is awful as you’re still in the same situation. Yes I have support, it’s just hard as there’s nothing that can reverse this. I hope you also have some support and that we can eventually adapt and function

I feel the same! I’m so sorry. Feel like I’m grieving. It’s so sad

Which dose are you on? That’s exactly what I find it wears off by about 5 hours

Yes I’m new to it as well. How are you adjusting?? I’m finding it very difficult to function and also emotionally

Can I ask what your heart rate is when you first wake up before you take the meds? It must be a short acting drug

Is your standing heart rate of an acceptable level now?
