You know the problem with google is that the big drug companies and doctors can pay to have their websites right at the top, so when you do a search to try to determine if this procedure might not be right for you...What do you find...? One advertisement after the other for the procedure ...A website setup for a pain management doctor...Is this what google was originally intended to be? A gigantic advertisment forum for the rich? Is this objective or subjective...I mean I googled problems with rhizotomy and only one page popped up and that was Patrick's page..and Patrick is angry so I do not know if he is being objective either...and some of his information is incorrect....

Also, there has got to be more than one guy with problems from this procedure. I remember on BT that a woman had some nerves severed by mistake and she had trouble walking for awhile, didn't she? Does anyone else remember? Wasn't it on BT?

We have to remember that just because it is on the Internet does not mean it is correct either....I quoted the Hand University Website to my hand surgeon last week and the information at the website was old and wrong...so you have to be careful and fully research every thing...
