Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Could you please comment on radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for chronic shoulder pain with rotator cuff disease? I’m 78 in good health with arthritis and a small separation of the rotator cuff. I’ve received epidurals that do work very well. I don’t want to keep getting them, but I also don’t want surgery. My shoulder orthopedic doctor dismisses RFA out of hand. “Nothing there to burn,” he says.
