COOLIEF (Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation)

[pegpowell]

Has anyone had COOLIEF instead of hip or knee replacement? If so, where? I live in Oregon and my hip is so bad the pain radiates down leg to my foot. My cane no longer can aid the pain.

I have had radiofrequency ablation on my jenicular nerves in both knees. The right one worked, the left not so much. Looking at having the left done again.

If the actually get the nerves, it is great.

Thank you for your response. How long ago did you have the procedure and was it done instead of knee replacement?

Had the procedure done around a year ago. I do not qualify for knee replacement yet, Dr says "you are too young" . So I had this done to relieve the pain.
