Yes, I have tried nerve blocks twice, to no avail. I have tried Lyrica, and also Gabapentin. Neither seemed to make a difference. I tried accupuncture for 6 months, and a lot iof supplements. It did seem to help a little. However , I'm still in constant pain. I just keep searching and hoping to find help !!

Hello @rmeddings. Like @sandytoes14 did, I also looked in to the COOLIEF website. It's disclaimer states that you should always talk with your provider about any procedure, including cooled radio-frequency treatment. My search on MayoClinic.org only turned up information regarding cryotherapy and use of freezing for cancer cells and topical cryotherapy for neuropathy pain. As Jen mentioned, Mayo Clinic does have a lot of information on radio frequency ablation. It would be wise to continue your research and present what you find to your physician.
