This is pretty interesting, because I have radiofrequency ablation treatments every 6-12 months, where they stick wires near the nerve roots in my neck and run RF through the wire until it heats to 100C, thereby killing the nerves that transmit pain to my spinal chord.
Wonder what an internal radiosource that powerful does to the rest of me?
There's another, less invasive version called pulsed radiofrequency ablation that doesn't cook the nerves - it uses the RF signal to confuse/fuck up the nerves without killing them. Doesn't work as well, but less risk. I wonder if DNA/radio is part of how pulsed RF works?
That sounds pretty harsh which probably translates into the alternative being even harsher. Wow. I have a small RF burn in one of my fingers, about 3 mm across and as deep as the bone, it never healed properly (I got it when I was 17, a long time ago from a Tronser trimmer that I touched by accident in a 1KW FM transmitter). I hope that your treatment does not leave such marks.
Apparently the 'pulsed' version of your treatment is to keep the temperature down while still having the same effect on the nerve.
