Since 1997 I have been having low back ablasions, every few years. The last few times I have had to go through a couple of steps, before getting the ablasions done. I want to know what the current treatment protocols are. And what doctor can do it with me in a twilight. My current doctor did 10 injections with the Marcaine, and gave me Versed in my arm. He proceeded to do it within a few minutes of the injection. Of course I was wide awake and kept begging him to stop. My last doctor would at least give me an IV of Valuim .
