Steve - I am part of 5% of the patients to have this lovely problem so I was one of the "lucky" ones... hey you have to laugh, well at least I do!
Anyways, I am less mad today, I saw my doctor and found out some good but bad news. The good news - the rhizotomy helped my left facet joint issue which has been the cause of massive pain for the past 2 yrs but the bad news is (which I already knew) that my right facet joint is now acting up. So I'm going in for a CT scan on Friday then back to Dr. Regan's office the following week then figure out what to do next. All I want is to be ok for this upcoming semester, and my departing words to my back are: BRING IT B#*$*%H!
