Peter, welcome although I'm sorry you're here. You would probably do well to see a neurologist or a pain management doctor. I'm treating with a pain management doctor, but I've not had an ablation done to the ON, only direct blocks and they were heaven while they lasted. This condition $@&*s. When its real bad, I don't get a break at all from the pain. I'm trying to avoid anticonvulsants, but I'm not sure I'll be able to indefinately. Hang in there!
