Rhizotomy stories... good, bad, indifferent?

[jchebert1979]

Had the radio frequency ablation and am back home. The surgeon said that from my pain responses during the procedure, he burned each level 6 times. Most only need 1. The anasthesiologist also could not believe that I was as awake or coherent as I was with all of the drugs he gave me. I hear that all of the time so whatever.

I feel better right now. The pain I have on the left side of my neck is more of a severe soreness as opposed to other pain however I always seem to feel better right after procedures and then take a downswing. From those who have had the procedure that I've talked to it will take a few days to a few weeks to feel the full effect. I will keep updating on my progress.
