Hi everyone,
after much doubt I had my rhizolosis performed Wednesday evening. It was not too bad - I was very apprehensive, but actually it was not much worse that the masses of injections and facet nerve root blocks which I have had over the last few years.
I have to rest but hope to to back to work next week.
Has anyone else had this done and how much pain relief did you get from it? I am hoping for a years pain relief before the consultant wants to do a laminectomy and disc shave.

Hi Sheena,
I have had facet injections but not this procedure, I really hope it works for you, make sure you get plenty of rest!

Hi Sheena
I had Radio Frequency Denervation injections (actually on the consent form it said Dorsal root Ganglion Block x 2 at L4 & L5), on 3 December 2009 (I remember the date well ) and I have been painfree from sciatica since that date, (touch wood). I love Dr. Evans.
I hope it works well for you.
