When I had my first Radio Frequency Rhizotomy (or Lumbar Neuropathy, or RF Ablation, or Whack-A-Nerve, or whatever the hell you want to call it) two weeks ago, Dr. R's assistant, Mike shared this analogy, "You know how when you spray weed killer on a lawn to get rid of dandelions, then for days after the dandelions just look kind of limp? Then when you go out there one morning, they're just gone? That's how this process seems to work. The pain will still be there for some days, then one day, you'll just notice that it's gone."
Folks? I think I'm almost there. Tomorrow (Thursday), they do the left side.
P.S. Now taking suggestions on what to p*ss and moan about after the back pain is gone.
