Default follow up

They did the second MBB and I did not get dizzy because a different Dr. did the procedure and he goes in the front of the neck and not the side like the other Dr. Last time the back of my neck was numb from the lidocaine but this time the side of my neck/ear was numb. I think that is why I had the dizzyness (actually it was called foot drop).

Fast forward to today, I had the RFA ... and I am not dizzy, however I have new pains. It seems like with every procedure i get rid of the last problem and come up with another one... argh.. This is getting flustrating.

Going back to the Dr. today.

Thanks for all the responses

Jojee, the RFA will usually make the pain worse before it improves. Call your doctor and ask him about it, he really should have told you to expect it.
Good luck, EE
