Right now, I'm still pretty sore but I'm managing ok I guess. I've been taking it very easy and using a lot of ice. My neck is fairly swollen on the left side.

I'm having the RFA done on my right side within the next 2 weeks and then we wait and see how that works. I really hope I get a good result from these.
