What Causes Muscles Spasms In The Buttocks After Radiofrequency Neurotomy?

Probably a complication of the procedure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
These symptoms are included in potential complications of the radiofrequency ablation (or neurotomy) procedure, that may cause muscles spasms at the site of the procedure and in nearby structures.
In your husband's case, the level L5-S1 seems to be the affected one.
I think your husband should continue the actual treatment for another week to see how it is going.
If symptoms persist after a week or two, an evaluation by your husband's Doctor and probably imaging of the lumbosacral spine is necessary.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
