Geno ~ I just did some research, and you're RIGHT. The PERMANENT Rhizotomy is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, while the temporary kind is called Facet Rhizotomy. Funny tho, that where I hurt, I didn't have facets! Strange. But oh well. LOL

Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I want to give people the correct information! Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
