Hi Rob,
If you don't mind, would you share the symptoms you are currently experiencing? Is it mostly nerve pain? Do feel any grinding pain when you bend, or come up from a squat position or do you have any difficulty walking? You've been at this issue for a long time, I truly hope you get some relief. Good luck with the ablation.
