Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
If Dr. Dos Santos recommends nerve ablations for you, you are going to ask what that means. When she tells you that she “will burn the nerves” it sounds awful. Let me ease your mind! There is no real pain involved. You may feel uncomfortable, a bit, but that is all. The benefits way outweigh the discomfort for a few appointments. The benefits may last 5-10 years. I would have no problems repeating this procedure if it becomes necessary. Paul G.
