Hi 4eversmiling,
Welcome to MedHelp's Pain Mangement Forum. I am glad you found us and took the time to post. However I am sorry to hear about your chronic lower back pain.
Dr. Jim Humphries, BS, DVM has some great information on RFA. He is a veterinarian on MedHelp and has some great personal knowledge on this procedure. You can find his comments and information at the following address:

I hope this will be helpful. We all get tired of taking narcotics, especially when our condition deteriorates and they are no longer as effective as they once were. You may benefit from a longer acting opiate and use your current medication for break through pain control. I would discuss this with my prescribing physician.
I wish you the best and hope you will keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
Take Care,
~Tuck
