I have just been through this.
1. Have a good orthopedic dr cat scan or mri you to rule out other issues. He should also send you for nerve conduction tests
. Once other issues ruled out locate a really good pain mgm dr
3.He will do a series of cortozone shots
4.If the series of shots slow down the pain but not completely then he may opt to BURN THE NERVE
5.I just finished all of the above
6.Good Luck
