I just had two facet blocks to set me up for the RFA. The facet blocks have done wonders as I don't even need my cane now. I am post L2/3 surgery and have spinal stenosis at three levels. L2/3 was my worst level but the doc said I may have to have surgery at L4/5 also. I just don't like the sound of RFA and doubt I change my mind. I have been out of work (on work comp) since Jan 09. Work comp has been cool so far but now that I have refused RFA they will probably start playing games with me. I know I didn't answer your question so hope someone has.
