Radiofrequency ablation

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• What makes you think these joints are a main source of my pain?
• How many test blocks would I have first, and what result would you want to see?
• If I have a pacemaker, stimulator, or other implanted device, what needs to happen first?
• What should I do about my blood thinner or diabetes medicine before and after?
• What results do your patients usually get, and how long does relief usually last?
• What would we do if the pain comes back?
• What should I be doing, like exercise or physical therapy, while I recover?
• Who do I call if I have a fever, severe pain, or new weakness afterward?
