hi I had a lumbar fusion cause of numbness and pain in left leg, now have worse pain and numbness in left leg and also right leg hurts and back. had a nerve block and for a week I felt a lot better. but then the pain came back. I would do a nerve block every week if it would always help but had another one and no good. is there something else to try?
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are having nerve pain involving your left leg following spinal fusion. You got relief by nerve block but last time you does get relief by nerve block. Furthermore, you wanted to get alternate treatment. Radiofrequency ablation is alternative to this. You can try this. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
