This procedure temporarily “turns off” the nerve's ability to transmit pain signals from your spine to your brain. This is done by destroying a portion of the nerve with high frequency radio waves. These nerves do not control any muscles or sensation in your arms or legs. With these nerves “turned off”, you aren’t able to feel as much pain that begins in your spinal nerves or joints. With time, the nerve will grow back but in the meantime, you'll most likely have pain relief. Pain relief ranges from 3 months to 2 years. Most patients have a significant reduction in pain for approximately 9 months after RF. If the pain does recur when the nerves grow back, the procedure can be repeated.

I had the MBB done on Wednesday. The first day, can't really say if I had any pain relief. The next day, I did feel some relief and today is Friday and I still feel some relief and today was my follow up with the doctor. Was told that if I didn't feel relief within 4 hours on the day of the first MBB, then probably not going to work for me. Was told that it would be unusual for the numbing agent to last this long. In the video, the doctor says the MBB could last hours, days, weeks. I'm confused now.

am scheduled to have my 2nd Medial Branch Block on June 3rd, 2024, my first one I got good results , after doing the pain score for the first 6 hours after it, I had a 90% relief from pain! So I am in hopes will get the same relief on my 2nd Medial Branch Block so I can have the the RFA procedure done ! My pain is lower back, I do have some arthritis also my pain doctor says, sometimes I have the worst pain on my left side which is where the doctor sees the arthritis. I am a 67 year old woman from N.C.

My last one was 5/22. It just recently wore off. Time for another one. I have been receiving these since 2017.

@@jackattack9799well, I had my radio frequency Ablation June 27th, by the 4th day after the procedure, I was able to tell it was working, I was at a red cross blood drive on July 1st and had to stand for at least 20 to 25 minutes waiting for them to have me come on to the blood drive bus, so that was a big test, normally before standing outside, even in the shade, I would have been hurting and sweating down my face and neck. I didn't have any pain or sweating while standing in one place waiting. But next day was having a little pain, it like comes and goes. It may take a little longer to get the continued relief. So I am hoping for longer relief in a few more days.

Sounds really familiar to me my second facet block was wonderfully effective that only lasted for 8 hours he also lidocaine my muscle knots. I had the cervical ablation on one side of my neck about 3 weeks ago now and it's worse off than it was before the ablation, I would tread carefully if I were you. I'm so upset I might not do the second side and the doctor got very defensive when I called him out.
