I have been told that they will bring the frequency to 45 degrees (frequency, not temperature). They say that this often causes the nerve to go "dead" without burning it or cutting it.

I am hoping and praying that this will be the answer

Have any of you had this procedure? Did it work for you? Any advice?

I am a new member and look forward to chatting with anyone who understands this pain.
Did this work for you? I am in thse midst of trying to make a decision of trying ionophoresis, phonophoresis, or decompression...did you try lidocaine patches or tens units...
