A member asked:
Do i have to bring someone along, or can i drive after a radiofrequency nerve ablation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Care post nerve rx: I would need more info about this which should be obtained from your md. Type of nerves treated? Type of anesthetic delivered? For example a temporal nerve ablation with no sedation would easily permit driving home but more extensive peripheral nerve treatments may require general and/or IV sedation in which case you should have a designated driver and someone to assist you post op.
