When treating pain caused by annular tears with ESI fails, is there any chance the pain could be helped with radio frequency neurotomy?

[@BloorPainSpecialists]

Hello Dan. Excellent question. RF neurotomy can certainly help. Depending on where in the world you live, a procedure called a biacuplasty, or an artificial disc replacement surgery may also be options. Over time, the annular tear may harden/calcify as well. Hope that helps. - Bloor Pain Team

Hi Dan. Thanks for the interest. Of course there is a chance. A decent chance too. Unfortunately, we can't discuss details of your personal care on a public forum like KZbin. If you live in Ontario, have your doctor send a referral to us and we would be happy to chat in person. www.BloorPain.com/refer-a-patient/

L4-5. there is a small left foraminal disc protrusion superimposed upon a diffuse disc annular bulge with mild facet arthropathy and endplate spurring. Mild left foraminal narrowing results. The central canal and right neural foramen appear patent. That’s my MRI I have my big toe and big toe areas numb sometimes does it need surgery?
