Newbie question, meds v rhyzotomy

[mmglobal]

Do you have clear positive facet injections? Performing a rhizotomy without evidence that the pain is coming from the facets may be ablating tissues with no benefit.

A pain level of zero to four would be success after a procedure for most of the spine patients I know.

Are you fit? If not, with the relatively low pain levels, can you still get fit?

PS... I know that your pain level does not seem low to you. Many spine patients I know tend to underrate their pain. (Especially engineers and athletes!)
