I had facet rhizotomy and it didn't help me at all. All the test blocks they did worked for about 1 1/2 weeks then all of those wonderful steriods and pain meds went by-by. They do that to test whether or not you are a candidate for rhizotomy. Sure you're going to feel better when they hit all leves of your neck, but then they only do 1-2 levels with rhizotomy. Which they failed to advised me before they had me hooked up to the IV sedation! Can you imagine that??? It was a waste of my money and time...
