Oh, I wanted to add one more thing I was told today.

I talked with my Neurologist about this upcoming Rhizotomy (being done by the spine group I go to). And she told me that the Rhizotomy would not worsen my PN at all. If I remember correctly, it is the medial branch nerve in the facet. I would have to look at a chart again LOL! Somebody, please correct me if I am wrong about that nerve. But I think that is what it is called. Anyway, my PM told me that it was the nerve whose "sole purpose in life was to transmit pain...that's all it does." So, hopefully, this will eventually help with the left leg pain I have and then I can get into PT.
