  • Having a label for your condition is a gratifying and important step, congratulations on finally figuring that out. Once I had a label for the source of my pain and problems, I felt I crossed a mental threshold where I could put it in a box and contain it. It was no longer an overwhelming question mark floating around. I hope this is a first step in many more improvements for you!





  • Ablations are definitely not a cure all, but they help break the pain cycle. Before I had my ablations, my pain would persist even when resting, eg lying down - now my muscles are actually able to catch a break. This gives me the chance to work on exercises and other long term investments into my health.

    If you’re in the US, you’ll probably undergo trial shots first, where they inject you with lidocaine or some other painkiller. You’ll be able to tell right away if it helps. I hope you have the opportunity to give that a try!
