Hey Mark,
thanks for the very informative update and sorry to hear the pain has been that bad.

Insurance battles suck!!!! I've gotten 3 denials since August for an ESI from WC. Or rather WC sucks. No, insurance battles suck period... yep. affirmative.

Good to hear that your pain generator has been identified and I do hope you will be able to deal with it with something as simple as a rhizotomy.

Do you have a very local PM doc or are you still going to the one in LB? I still utilize the one in San Diego as he's great with my scripts and so exacting with the transforaminal ESIs which WC has limited to 2/year should that even be authorized.

Please keep us updated and of course I'm wishing you the best with the outcome that gives you the most best prolonged relief!
