To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Cervical Osteoarthritis I was diagnosed approximately 8 yrs ago with severe cervical Osteoarthritis. At that time I had a titanium plate placed in c6-c7 due to the deteriation…..in order to maintain my pain levels I have been going to pain management where they have been performing RFL or Radio Frequency Lessoning. Its where they work on the nerves in the facets and so to speak sever them to reduce my pain. I was just told that I have additional deteriation in c-4 c5 and c2 c3 and the pain has escalated. The RF’s seem to help for approximately 8 months then I have the procedure completed again. This has been ongoing all this time. It has been a life savor for me, otherwise I would not be able to work a full time job like I do. I would highly recommend checking out pain management treatment. Comments
