What wonderful news. I hope this is the cure you've been waiting for. If the nerve block worked, why not have it done permanently? My pain doctor wants me to have the nerve deadened permanently. If I'm understanding this correctly, and the nerve was temporarliy blocked then why couldn't it be done permanently and then one wouldn't need the radio frequency inserted. Am I not understanding this correctly?
