Hi ~ I had Rhizotomy done, and unfortunately it didn't work for me. It's supposed to be done within 6 mos - 1 1/2 yrs after surgery. Well, he did mine 2 yrs after surgery and it just didn't work. My scar tissue had already become hard and thickened.

After it was done, all I felt was just a bit of aching but that was normal anyway. I usually feel a horrlble ache & lots of pain anyway. By the time the anesthesia wore off, I was back to the horrible ache & pain.

I sure wish it had worked cause it would have saved me years of pain. It's been about 10 years since I've had that done, and it's been a nightmare. I hope it works for you -- I'll keep you in my prayers. PLEASE -- let us know if it works, will you? I'd really like to know. God bless & please take care. Hugs, Lee
