Radiofrequency ablation is a method that is used for reducing pain. RFA is a safe method. Radio wave produces electrical current that heats up a small area of nerve tissue. The degree of pain relief depends on numerous factors. It can last from 6 to 12 months. This method show risks with less than 5% of the treated patients. I suggest you to try with this method. You should consult a doctor. I hope you will feel relief. Good luck!
