Yes, but my pain management doctor knew it wouldn't work, so he gave me an epidural before I had the surgery, & it actually helped me some. But the after effects, I had more than normal back pain.

I had lower back rfa and had a rare reaction according to dr. I woke up in horrible burning pain my leg wouldn’t work. It was awful. My lower back feels like it has a knot in it and hurts more now.
One time for si injections they gave me a muscle relaxer instead supposedly it was to relax me and make me sleepy. Nope 👎 It hurt so bad I’m yelling who gave me fake pills! This is 🐮 💩 I was so 😡 a nurse kept patting my hand saying almost done. Then dr says next side. So I kept screaming knock me out! They wouldn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️👹

Wow! I’m so sorry all this happened & your foot when it didn’t have to happen if the didn’t put you wrong on table! Whenever I was having a interventional procedure on my neck I was in holding in hallway & they had older gentleman face down, padded & restrained to table & there was 2 younger guys in w/ him & waiting on Dr. & 1 guy farted in his face on purpose & they started giggling & when Dr came in he smelled it & they blamed the patient & were joking around w/ masks on so you couldn’t tell who was who & the man couldn’t do anything cuz strapped down, so when Dr left again to answer call they farted on him again! When I was in recovery they accused a different man of faking unconscious so held his arm up & it dropped on his nose & started bleeding & they stuffed a tampon in him & we’re trying not to laugh. He woke up & started to remove it & didn’t know why & they told him he hit himself. It’s that kind of stuff I was worried about b/c I know dr for years & have vetted him & he is 35 but mature.

I was having ablasions done, they would not give me pain medication unless I did. They would sedate me but i could still feel it. The last time i was there they hit a nerve in my lower back to my knee. Colorado Pain denied it and kicked me out of the program because i wouldnt do anymore. The ablations never worked.

It was at a surgery center most of the time I’m knocked out... idr why the dr thought Valium would work 🤷🏼‍♀️ The nurses afterward said SI injections are the most painful and were surprised 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄🤷🏼‍♀️
