Hi ~ I've had this done, and you shouldn't have any pain during the procedure, because they sedate you. They put me in lala land, and before I knew it, it was over.

Afterwards, there was only an "aching" where they did the procedure. That was taken care of with ice. I was told to rest the rest of the day, which I did. The next day I was just fine -- like I said, I had some aching plus the "normal" pain, but no real new pain. I didn't have any results from the procedure tho -- why it didn't work is beyond me. The doc didn't know why either.

Best of luck -- I hope you get some relief from this. Let us know, ok? God bless. Hugs, Lee
