What kind of arthritis is it? I have facet arthritis in l2-l5/s1 as well as degenerative disk disease. I had radio frequency ablation for the facet arthritis in February and it's helped a great deal. Are you seeing a pain management doctor?
Arthritis cannot be cured as it is a degenerative disease. It can be managed with medication and physical exercise though. When your doctor said he can clean the arthritis off, I'm assuming they are talking about bone spurs that sometimes happen. That doesn't mean they are getting rid of your arthritis, they are just taking out the bone spurs to help ease the pain.
Can I be cured ? I was told that a doctor can clean the arthritis off my spine is this true. My tail bone is swollen and I can't walk ... I'm always bent over and in sever pain.... please give me some advice....
