I've read that you can have the nerves severed but I have not discussed that with my neurologist.
If someone tells you to sever those nerves, ask for a second opinion-doing so can actually leave you with phantom pain and that NEVER goes away. My pain specialist, is adamant we are NOT cutting the nerves!
