1 injection n 1 diagnostic injection to determine what's needed next. So far, great! Several appts upcoming. Love that Dr Robledo actually listened to what I was saying n where I hurt. Staff are all so wonderful n helpful as well. Glad I found ya'll! 😍🙏🌹
2nd diagnostic injection, definitely can tell the difference! Ablation next week!😍🙏🌹Everyone is so helpful n caring. Everything's explained!
Ablation day. I don't usually take a early morning appt because the pain keeps me up most nights but did for this. Hopefully way less pain for my birthday tomorrow! 🎉🎂🙏🌹
Ablation right side went very well. Just hanging out today resting!
Left side starts in 2 weeks!
Happy birthday to me!🎉🎂🌹🎂🎉
Update: finished neck, did ablations. Helped 90%-95% of my pain is gone. Started on lower back 2 wks ago, 2 diagnostic injections 💉 on both sides, epidural injection 💉 today n then ablations next week. Lower back is 75%-80% better, OMG the difference, just with epidural, until I went to the pumpkin patch n overdid it too soon. Then consultation to see 👀 what the next procedure will be!
It's a longer process due to insurance requirements but so grateful to be out of most of the pain I've endured for years now. I can handle the 2%-5% pain which should disappear in the next few weeks. Thanks Dr Robledo n staff!😍

Was here yesterday also, did ablation on right lower back, today is left lower back. Right side is so much better. Love cutting up with the girls here, makes it fun...the dr too!🤩😍🤩
Update: Epidural for the pain on the spinal cord, when CT scan is done, will be scheduled for the MILD procedure to eliminate the additional pain. 12-1-22 So much better than I was 2 months ago, 95%
Update 5-15-25
Had hip injections today for sciatica nerve, procedure hurt a little bit but less pain now, 5 hrs later. April 25th Dr Robledo replaced my battery n reattached the leads that came loose. Healing nicely. Still have some pain issues but not as much as before. Hard to separate the lower back pain n sciatica pain.💕🙏🏼😍
Update: 6-19-25
Today got 2 injections in SI joint bilateral. Stung a bit going in but walked out better than I walked in.
3 hours later, pain level went from about 8 down to about 2. Praying it lasts for a while! 😍
