GJZH I might be confused but it seems that there appears to be at least 3 names for what I believe is the same procedure?

RF Lesioning
RF Abalation
Rhizotomy

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I was one of the unlucky ones to have complications after the procedure. It is over 5 months since my RF of C3/4 facet joints and I still have the numbness, neuralgia and new painful spots I did not have before the procedure. (Thanks to paritally hitting C2 nerve branch)

On my copy of the "Report of Operation" The technical name listed is: Radiofrequency rhizotomies Right C3/4 medial branches with fluoroscopic guidance. Yet, my Doctor first called in verball an RF Abalation and the written literature I was given describing the process it was called an RF Lesioning....
