Default Radio frequency ablation for Meralgia Paresthetica?!

Hello, fellow MP
I have had constant severe MP for 6 years. Have tried every drug the doctors could think would help - none did. Next week I am scheduled to have a Radio Frequency Ablation at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. As I understand it, a thin needle that is attached to a radio frequency emitting device will be inserted into the nerve that the doctors have identified as causing the MP. 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.
