Well that's not good that the relief from your RFA only lasted 2-3 months. The MD told me if it works it should bring relief for at least 6 months. I suppose every one is different. He didn't say anything about going to P.T. afterward. How many facet joint injections have you had now? I'm curious to know if you had any difficulty getting your RFA scheduled. I had many delays getting mine set up. It seems the MD's office moves very slowly.

Hang in there.
