I’ve got a couple of appointments this week. The first is with my orthopedic doctor tomorrow afternoon. I’m not exactly sure what we’re going to discuss, but whatever he has to say, I’ll be listening carefully.

I’ve already seen the X-rays and MRI images. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking at, but it doesn’t look good to me.

I also have an appointment with my pain management doctor on Thursday. I’m scheduled to undergo an RFA, or Radiofrequency Ablation. That’s the procedure where they go in and burn the nerve endings that are believed to be causing the pain.

I’m not sure how this procedure will fit into the overall treatment plan with my orthopedic doctor, but I suppose I’ll find out soon enough. We’ll see what happens.
