....I have a phone meeting with my doc tomorrow after lunch. I'll bring it up. thanks for the idea.
I'm thinking the RF procedure will be a little more intense than yesterday's prelim procedure. I should probably ask if I'll be conscious (most likely), and if so, should I take a mild sedative. I'm not afraid of pain, but tensing makes the procedure take longer and makes it more difficult for them. I held it together pretty good with the prelim procedure, but if more intense and longer duration, something to mellow me out could be helpful

I dont think I would like to do something like that if it had to be redone every year.
Have you looked into the electronic nerve block? They have a little device they implant just under your skin that sends a little electrical charge that is supposed to block the pain. Not like a muscle stimulate or more of a frequency thing.

no - this was just a prelim procedure to see if the actual procedure might work. The actual procedure should be more intense and longer duration, is what I'm thinking.
Thanks mate, but this was just the prelim procedure. I'll find out tomorrow after talking to my doc when the next step will be
