i should explain. It's a RFA of the nerves going to the knee for arthritis relief. It is done when someone is not eligible or wanting a knee replacement or the downtime involved in that. RFA of those nerves has a fast recovery. Ive read some studies, but havent seen it in real time. Was curious if anyone else did.

Perhaps this should be posted in pain management?

heres a link if anyone is interested:
