Has anyone had a rhizotomy to help sis? How long does it take to feel relief after this procedure?

Welcoome

I've not had one of those but I understand they are a little more risky than some other injections but if it works, it's great relief.

Make sure you have a good doc for this procedure.

If they'rerecommending a rizotomy, then I have to assume you're pretty bad off with it. My heart goes out to you. Suffering isn't easy. Your pain goes with you no matter what you do. I do understand. It hope won't always be this way. Things will change one way or the other. I put my epidureals X3 off for 6 six years. They did help my neck and also my back. It gave me enough relief to where I could start my LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG journey back to a better state. I wouldn't put it again if it gets back to it, hoping the benefits outweigh the risks. If you're comfortable with your doc, and you're miserable, I'd go for it and let her rip!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us know how things go.

No question is too silly here. These things are hard to figure out. You're not alone...
