Michelle, thanks for the update.

Flex forward, extend back. For me, right is towards the shoe with the big R on the toe.

It's good news / bad news that your facet injection relieved your pain. The good news is that you have high confidence that you know where the pain generator is. The bad news is that your facets are painful.

Since you are so newly post-op, you may be looking forward to your facets recovering as the disc height has been restored, hopefully re-aligning the facets. I'll be very interested to discover how you do with theraputic facet injections and possibly rhizotomy. (Hopefully you can avoid the rhizo, but if you need one, it may be an option.)

All the best,

Mark
