Nerve ablation burns the nerve endings to help cut the pain. When I had the block, it didn't affect my skin sensation or motor function at all, just took away the pain from the arthritis/implant. That night I was able to walk 2 miles at my previous normal pace without pain. It was heavenly!

How long does it last? Must you wait many months before they'll do it? Is it a difficult procedure? Thanks
