Default Ablation

Since it's a "sunburn" on your nerve, I simply just call it nerve burning. Sorry for that.
Thanks so much for your response. My pain management mentioned radio frequency ablation as a possible next step for me since nerve blocks have not worked. I had never heard of it and we did not discuss it at any length yet. Thanks again.
