A Rhizotomy is a procedure used to treat chronic pain or muscle spasticity by disabling specific nerve fibers. It works by using heat (radiofrequency ablation) to burn the nerve, preventing it from sending pain signals to the brain.

 

^ Wishing you well for the upcoming procedure.

 

I hope that all goes well and that the procedure helps you.

Have you had this procedure before?

 

Yes, It's worked well in the past. It knocks out lower back pain for some weeks. It's performed at a local surgical center outpatient. I'm sedated, out, for thee procedure.

 

 

Good luck!

 

Good luck. I suffer from mild back pain. Ah, those golden years we all enjoy.

 

I hope that it went well, and that you found some relief.

 

Looking for updates. Hope everything went well.
