: I had the radiofrequency -- on my facet joints -- December 11. I don't have TFCC. Since the MRI enabled a differential diagnosis (CTS v. TFCC) re: Ellen, I think that my MRI would have picked it up if I have it. There was no notation of it in the reports... (from any of the doctors).

: But we have shared the thought that more of the RF might help me :) I had asked my p.c. doc and the pain surgeon about just deadening my spine or arms and hands. They said, "No." They were positive about that. They said it would pose too great a trauma risk.

: So what I'll ask on Tues. is for info. that might help the people who are hearing about the possibility of RF procedure for TFCC... if the effects would be comparable with whatever area of the body affected by RF (and its outcome).

: : Anne, I read that same post also & I'm glad you will find out about radiofrequency.. I thought of you when I read it & wondered if its something that might be of help to you, but I don't know enough about this sort of thing to have mentioned it.. I KNEW you'd read those posts & find anything that might be of help to others, & maybe even yourself at the same time..

Yes I knew you didn't have TFCC, but I thought if it helps that aliment then maybe it helps another.. I didn't know you had already tried radiofrequency.. Like you say though, it might help someone else.. Persoanlly I think just hearing about TFCC might help someone on this board someday.. You can never have too much information.
