Radiofrequency nerve ablation

I don't know if radiofrequency lesioning is the same as readiofrequency nerve ablation or not, but my dr has recommended this for me. Haven't had it done yet and not sure what to expect from it.

my husband

had this about 3 weeks ago. It helped him amazingly! He has DDD and was in bad pain. It helped him 70-80 %. But the present pain he feels might be something else. He was amzed at how well it worked.
