I also am scheduled for this procedure this week. Talked to another doc who does Prolotherapy, and his explanation about facet joint rhizotomy was this. There is a red light. One can heed the light and stop, or one can crush the light. In other words, the rhizotomy cancels out warning systems, which are our nerves. I too have considerable pain, have tried all the other modalities. Question is if I cancel out the red light (a warning system of sorts,) what am I missing or doing to my body that I need?? Am confused.
