Knee and hip nerve ablation

The knee nerve ablation itself went smoothly. Took only a matter of 20 minutes or so. At first, first week or a little more, I had about a 40% reduction in pain. At about the 3 week mark it was about 75%. It has remained near that level since. Of course some days are better than others. All in all I am happy I had it done. I was told by my Doc that the nerves will probably regrow in a year or so. I would more than likely have it done again.

Is this the same as Coolief ? I have read about that procedure but it is nothing what you had done but it does target the nerves.

I'm scheduled to have my first anesthetic "test "next week. Medicare requires two tests before the actual nerve block can be done on the knee. Your experience gives me hope that it will be worth the time and effort. The thought of lessening the debilitating pain is a dream come true! Blessings,
