Trutle12-
I had a rhyzotomy last spring and it was the greatest relief for my back pain! It is sore for a few day after the procedure,but then the benefits greatly outweigh the temp. discomfort! Also, the way I looked at it was I had gone through so much, that it couldn't be worse than some of the other stuff (ex-MANY EMG's

and all the back tests). It lasted 4 months for me, and i amd scheduled to get anpther one.
Y0u may have had it by tthe time you read this post, but I hope it went well and you get as much relief as I did.
