The Orthopedic gave me a new diagnoses for chronic F up back

[Quasar44]

Basivertebral nerve in the vertebral body.

The nerves that are driving me NUTS are on the actual Vetbrae body

My facet joints are good. The Damaged disk is causing Edema and the build up is killing my nerves on the Vertebrae body.

The Doctor said in years past I would be shit out of luck.

Luckily that god there is new new procedure out now but I have to pay CASH

How much "cash". If you have nerve ablation it could regrow in a year, rinse and repeat. Better than constant pain...if you can afford it.

This is like a nerve ablasion but its a new procedure as the nerves are on the Vet body now.
IT grows back in 2 years as Ablasion grows back in 9 months or so

What does it cost?

 

[shockedcanadian]

Good luck with this. In Canada you could be euthanized for dealing with such pain and sadly I'm not joking.

 

[Quasar44]

What does it cost?

15,000 or so

I had a blood vessel get twisted that was putting pressure on my spinal cord at the T-12, and I was losing my ability to walk. Thankfully there is a procedure now a days that allows you to operate that close to the spinal cord (there was still a chance of nicking it, and paralysis) but thankfully that didn't happen. The doc got in there and resectioned the blood vessel without damaging the spinal cord. This was in 2012, and he said 10 years previous, he couldn't have done it.

The bad news is he did a shitload of nerve damage in getting to the blood vessel, which has led to loss of feeling in my foot. I was not warned of this, just of being so close to the spinal cord, and having it nicked. Ask your surgeon what kind of nerve damage will result from surgery.

Not bad, my pain-blocking implant was around 150k.

Nerve ablation needs to be done every 6 to 8 months.
It really didnt do shit for me.

Was it installed in your spine?
If so you or your insurance company got robbed.
They normally run from 7k to 10k.
