Hi,
Radiofrequency ablation is not a routinely used procedure but can definitely be done in a case like yours where there is no relief even after the operation. Nothing is safe since safety is a relative word. If you want relief from pain, some amount of damage is to be expected. My advice is to go ahead with radio ablation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
