Ballerina: The sad part was I knew of Hooshmand's site as well. I had read chunks of it, but missed the small section on RF till years later when I went through the whole site.

It really wasn't explained to me that it was a radically different treatment than the blocks I had already received, with any signifigant new risks. I was way too trusting at that point.

When I woke up, it felt like I had a live electric current vibrating through my hand with a slight increase in burning pain, but the burning pain kept increasing after I left. And the response from the doc was to be kind, but as if my bad reaction was physically impossible.

I'm really glad Anita will not undergo this procedure based on the information other's had already provided, but I hope this thread will be a warning for others as well!
