Hi, I have severe spinal left lateral recess stenosis at L2/3 with severe bulding herniated disc at that level. I also have moderate left lateral stenosis at L3/4 with mild bulging disc and moderate bulging and a bone spur complex at L5. I have a syrinxomyoglia at C7 and have numbness in my shoulder and left hand. I had a right lower ablation last year and it made my right foot go even number. I cannot set for very long. My neurologist wants to do a left sided faucet nerve ablation but I am worried that this will make it worse. Has anyone here had ablations and did it help or make your condition worse? Is there anyone here that has a traumatic cervical syrinx?

Do you have airrosti where you live? They are Chiropractors that deal with facia only, no adjustments or bone popping. Plus they do PT, it might be a good option, they have helped me a lot!

@geocache I have had the ablations done and sadly it didn't help. I have tried acupuncture and facet joint injections as well as steroids. They think that is what caused the arachnoiditis. I am much worse now then I have ever been. But I have heard people have good results. Just be careful. I am seeing a chiropractor and it is mildly helping.

@Dolphingirl21 I am supposed to have an ablation done next month. What can you tell me about that.
