Hi,

Thanks for your answers and sharing your experiences. I have heard that there can be uncomfortable numbness after a radiofrequency rhizotomy that lasts a few months. I am supposed to be coming off my meds but if there is a chance this is AD I really don't want to start reducing!

Great idea on calling the surgeon before the holidays! Sadly he is already gone but will be back next week.

I guess to clarify my question, would AD start mild and only in one small area and eventually get worse? Or is it a sudden onset in the entire area?

Thanks for your help!
