A member asked:
Is it normal to still feel pain after the nerve in the lower back has been frozen and how long does it usually last for?

Pain after Procedure: These questions are best answered by your treating physician, as only he knows the specifics of the procedure. Cryo-ablative therapy creates a controlled burn (in this case the lay term is frost bite) and takes time to heal.

Yes: Cryotherapy has been around since the time of hippocrates. Modern devices are effective in treating many pain conditions. The freeze-thaw cycle employed, results in tissue injury and wallerian degeneration of nerve fibers. Pain can persist for several weeks after treatment , and you can also experience numbness, tingling, redness or irriation of the skin.
