Default Pre-Injections Before RF Ablation

My cervical rhyzotomy was very successful and I will be having my lumbar spine later this week. My pain management specialist did diagnostic injections with a short-action steriod to see if my facet joints we casuing any of my problems. When I noticed that I had more range of motion in my neck, I hasked for the cervical rhyzotomy. That was don ath 4-levels in Ovt 2010 and the results have been good.

I went through the same deal with my lumbar spine. 3 bi-lateral levels tested. I as able to walk with much less discumfort. My only dissappointment is that the PM will only do side at a time.

Good luck Robery
