Lance, ive been a back pain sufferer for many years.
I also have that constant dull ache in my lower right side through L4-S1.
Long story short i had a successful facet joint block right side only at L4-L5 and L5-S1. Relief was instant and lasted almost 3 weeks. I just called to have my second set of shots. If these work also, i'll schedule the ablation.
I have moderate arthritis at L4-L5 right side.
