In July I had treatment for upper-back pain and it involved radio-frequency ablation. Basically it's the burning of nerve endings that are transmitting the pain to the brain. First of the 4 injections went somewhere where it shouldn't have, triggering an instant violent cough and a weird taste in the my throat. Now, nearly…
