PLease Help..need advice
Dr is wanting to try Radio Frequency Lesioning, from what i understand it is where they "burn" the nerves. I would really LOVE to speak with someone who has had this procedure and could give me some info and advice. I just dont know what to do

I was sedated,but i wasnt all the way a sleep,it worked for about a year,most of my problems are related to my muscles,so my pain doctor said he wouldnt repeat it....it did help my nerve pain....
