I have had a similar procedure called rhysolisis, basically as the good doc says it creates a block from the nerve root to the brain so that the pain signal cannot get through hence you feel little or less pain.
In laymans terms they put an earth pad on your body and place a needle/electrode at the nerve root and fry the nerve, it's not painfull but is unpleasant as you feel an electric shock which can make you twitch and figit on the table, it's not possible to have pain relief as the surgeon needs to know what you can feel and needs some help from you to guide thm to the exact point of the pain, there's no guarantees with this as to how well it works, some people it's the miracle cure and some have the nervw grow back as the body heals it's self.
I hope this helps.

Hi!
Nerve burning/nerve freezing/nerve block procedure do help control pain. In this the problematic nerve roots are destroyed with help of heat generated through radiofrequencies. This is also called radiofrequency ablation. Block can also be performed though chemicals and cold. However, at times it leaves the person feeling numb in that area or the pain is replaced by a tingling or burning sensation.

To assess what pain medication and treatment will help you best, you will need a current evaluation by a neurologist or a pain management specialist. Depending on this evaluation, the neurologist may prescribe oral pain killers (which are of several types including opioids, non steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killers, COX-2 inhibitors etc.) or round the clock use of patches with drugs for pain relief etc. There are many alternative or non-pharmacological pain management therapies which can be tried. These are: ice packs, heat pads, massage therapy, physiotherapy, yoga, meditation, hydrotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, other types of neurolytic blocks, aromatherapy, Reiki, acupressure and acupuncture, guided imagery and biofeedback. Usually a combined approach of a pain killer and a non-medication therapy helps give best pain relief. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
