From what I've heard, pulsed RF is typically a temporary solution but might be worth it if it gives you several months of relief. I think it is most likely going to be successful if a prior nerve block gives you some pain relief, confirming the source of your pain. Cryoablation is also a procedure that would most likely have to be repeated but it if gives you significant relief would be worth it. There are mixed reviews on both of these therapies -- they help sometimes but not always.

I haven't tried either of these myself -- just repeating what I've heard and read.
