I had a 3 level Facet-joint Rhizotomy done in December 05 and my pain has just come back this month. I would say I had a great result and would get it done again. I had it done as a day-procedure in hospital and was knocked-out (heavily sedated but could apparently talk to the Docs.) for the procedure. I wouldnt do it unsedated. I was sore/achey for the first day or two afterwards but the relief I got was fabulous. Now thats its worn-off I can really feel the difference.
