I had neuropathic facial pain (like trigemnial neuralgia only worse, both sides) and the nerve blocks have been my saving grace. Of course, I'm blessed to live within an hour of Stanford, so it took some of the top docs to figure this out.
The RF ablation might be interesting as the first level "stuns" the nerve thus putting the pain to sleep.
Glad you found a path to relief! Stay strong, even when the pain gets you down.
