there is a procedure that allows the nerve to be 'killed'. it's burned in some way, leaving a numb spot where the pain once was. IF you go to the dr., & IF he says you need surgery, this is the best way to have it done. (i had mine done about 17 years ago, during fusion, still numb to this day). they can do it without sx, but tends to be a painful recovery for a few days. either way, IT WORKS! you will need to go back to the pain dr for it, though. good luck!!!
