What Happens When Pain Interventions Don't Work?

What do you do when the epidural doesn't work? What do you do when the facet joint nerve block doesn't work? What do you do when the spine surgery doesn't work?
These are questions and more that Dr. William Porter McRoberts and Dr. Paul Wu discuss together.

I've had MBB bilaterally several times, as well as steroid injects several times before the MBBs. I've recently had a bilateral rhizotomy January 27, 2017. All procedures focused on my L4/L5/S1 region. I have been diagnosed with the common medical codes for osteoarthritis, spongelosis, dis generation in those areas. I still live with pain in the S1 down to my tail bone and radiates in my hip joints along with rear end muscle pain. I've been going to Southeastern Spine institution since October 2016 and only reaching 60% improvement. I feel like there are no other options for my pain. My recheck visit is March 2017 and I have a feeling that nothing else will be done. To add, I do not nor have I been prescribed pain meds. I just want relief. Thanks for video.

Yeah, I had an occipital nerve ablation.... yes, my pain is different after...first, it was debilitating migraines... now it is pressure headaches not debilitating, but I get fatigue quickly... double vision is the same no change
