Facet Joint RF treatment?

martinedwards · 2012-08-19 07:27:06

Long term back pain. I've had two sets of the allegedly long term anaesthetic injections, each of which lasted two weeks. the next step is using Radio Ferequency to burn out the nerves. allegedly this can give "up to 50%" of patients "up to 2 years" relief. that's a lot of "up to"s for me........ so, anyone been zapped?…

the next step is using Radio Ferequency to burn out the nerves.

allegedly this can give "up to 50%" of patients "up to 2 years" relief.

that's a lot of "up to"s for me........
