A Genicular Nerve Block is usually done in an attempt to temporarily alleviate the pain but is also usually a preliminary procedure to determine if you are a candidate for the Genicular Nerve Ablation. If there is little or no pain relief, the ablation is not the answer. The ablation is a procedure where the nerves in the affected area are "fried" (for the lack of a better term) to deaden the nerve endings for the pain receptors. As previously mentioned, I reside in coastal central NJ and the revision surgeon I used is part of the Robert Wood Johnson Barnabas Health System. He has offices in Lakewood and Toms River NJ and has over 35 years experience. He also did a fellowship at Mass General Hospital in Boston. Definitely seek out a revision specialist in your area. It may take a bit of research but getting rid of the pain and swelling and getting back to a much better quality of life is definitely worth it. Good luck!
