Thanks for your prayers...appreciate them!! The possible ablation they're talking about in my neck is at the very end of the nerve (it's called a facet nerve because it's not the nerve that is the big one, but is at the end of the big one where it branches off into little nerves outside of the spinal column, if that makes any sense). Have read mixed reports on the success of this procedure so very hesitant.
