Cindylou,
So, so sorry. Why don't they want you to have steroid injections after fusion? Will have to look up rhizotomy - so much to learn  .
Does a trip to the ice cream store help! Call some gal pals and have lunch. You have to do things to keep that misery in the background. It ain't easy. You've been thru so much, please hang in there.
You're in my thoughts and prayers. Sandy
