@stfnwtl89 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130415172013.htm , This is an article I tried to copy the link, I hope I did it as I am not very good at this, however they were talking of a new method of pain control using a system of freezing the nerve that carries the pain? I don't really understand it but maybe you can? It may be helpful to you or to others with the right kind of pain to use this on?? Good Luck. 19lin It was in Science Daily of April 15, 2013
"Doctors freeze nerves to knock Chronic Pain out Cold". It might have been Science News or Science Daily? Sorry I am not very skilled at copying things. 19lin

After botching a cervical spine surgery leaving me in severe pain, a neurosurgeon wanted to fuse my lumbar spine. I left his clinic and “Care.” The next doc recommended a RFA to the facet joints in my lower back at S1. I was pain free x 6 months. I’m still coping with severe pain but any additional pain makes my body overreact and no medication is effective. It does not work for everyone and it’s not cheap(I have private insurance) $8,000 the doc got about $800 the hospital $7,200. If it works, it’s amazing to walk pain-free.
Thank you

Here is a link to a broad explanation of ablation procedures, https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/ablation-therapy/about/pac-20385072. This is a bit of a generic definition however, not for specific diagnoses and treatments, but may help understand a bit more about multiple types of ablation treatments.
