Suggest Treatment For Pain Caused After Radio Frequency Ablation
I had and RFA of my left SI nerve 11 days ago and the pain is terrible. I was put on prednisone, have pain meds, but cannot get the pain under control. I don t want to go to the hospital so was wondering if there was anything else I can do to help with the pain.

Hi,
Some patients experience severe pain after undergoing RFA, especially on the first days after the procedure.
As the first line of management, you can try analgesics like Tramadol or Acetaminophen for symptomatic relief.
If pain persists despite taking analgesics, you have to meet your doctor and be evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
