Sphenopallatine nerve ablation

Sphenopallatine nerve ablation

Hi-
I am a pituitary patient. I began having debilitating headaches after a transphenoidal pituitary surgery in Jan 2006. LSS I just had a nerve block done on the sphenopallatine nerve. I was headache free for 10 plus hours. So the docs think that we know the culprit behind my pain. We are going to repeat the block and if I have the same result we are talking about doing a nerve ablation. Any ideas on where I can get good info about this? There does not seem to be many posts from real live patients specific to this nerve that I can find. My main question is how long does it take for the nerve to grow back and more info about how it is done?
Thanks
