Hi All,

I'm new to the forum but I had RF on my neck (c3-c5), Monday 2/18/08. So far, I haven't seen any improvement but I understand it takes time and it's been only 4 days. I hope that in a couple of weeks th pain will subside and I will see results.

My background: I'm a 52 y/o male and I have Degenerated Disk Disease. My past treatments: I have had a Micro Laminectomy and a Cage Fusion on my lumbar (L5-S1). these were done after many facet join and Epidural injections. and my lower back is still crap. Then, about 2 years ago, my neck started giving me trouble. My MRI shows that C3-C6 as having problems with C3/C4 being the worst. I have had several facet join and Epidural injections with NO help. The RF is basically my last stop before another major surgery that, in the past, hasn't helped at all.

I guess I'm ranting a bit, but I'm hoping that someone here has had similar experiences and can perhaps offer some advice.

Thanks
