I had an RFL done at C3/4/5 about 3 months ago. No procedure problems or pain, had splinters that where more uncomfortable.
Post procedure symtoms where no problem as well. Maybe felt a little soar for a couple of days. But nothing that would cause me to take any pain relief meds..
As for whether the procedure helped? I would say my facets at those levels are not my problem. My guess is the slight soarness in my neck after the medial branch masked my current problem. Kind of like you can't feel 2 different pains in the same area at once. If that makes sense.
