I had my RFA ablation 7 days ago. They use radio frequency and heat to cauterize the area your pain is coming from. I wasn't completely out. But I did have enough anesthesia that I do not remember the procedure. I was versed and fentanyl. My doctor was super and made sure I was under enough before he started. I have the other side done in a week.
