Beka, I'm sorry that you are having such a rough time.

Are you certain that the sunburned feeling is related to the ablation? Could there be some other issue that is ramping up nerve pain? My guess is that you'll be stuck waiting it out. If you are worse after the ablation, you'll be asking your doc about the potential effects of partial ablation.

Please remember that while I've experienced a remarkable recovery, my first injections were in September. After that I was a 100% shut in. More injections in November.... still a shut in. I started to improve at the very tail end of December. Another set of injections in Jan... then in February, remarkable improvement.

We'll never know if it was due to injections or time or both.

Wishing you all the best...

Mark
