Frequently asked questions
When should I see a pain specialist?
See one if pain has lasted more than three months, ordinary painkillers no longer help, or it seriously affects your sleep, work or mobility. Pain can be managed separately while the underlying condition is still being treated.
What is a nerve block and does it hurt?
A nerve block places local anaesthetic, sometimes with an anti-inflammatory, next to the nerve carrying the pain, guided by ultrasound or X-ray. It takes 10–20 minutes and rarely causes discomfort because the needle site is numbed first.
When is radiofrequency ablation used?
If a block gives only temporary relief, the small nerve carrying the pain can be weakened with radiofrequency energy; this gives relief lasting months, especially for back and neck pain coming from the facet joints.
What should I bring to the appointment?
Previous MRI and X-ray results, a list of medicines you take or have tried, and any reports from other doctors are helpful. A pain diary — noting when the pain gets better or worse — sharpens the treatment plan.
