I agree witht he info. already given to you re. the facet joing. I have facet joint problems and I am wondering if the procedure is a facet joint injection. It is not an actual treatment, but it is a good way of diognosing if that is what is causing problems. Also, as far as radiofrequency goes, I can say from my experience, it worked so well for me. It was the first thing, after 1 1/2 yrs. of trial and error of many different treatments, that gave me 100% relief of pain. I don't know if I am one fo a few that it worked on or if there are many that found it helpful, but the procedure itself wasn't any worse that any other injection and it gave me months of pain free days. I am going back to have it done again, next week.

Good luck with everything and keep us posted.

I am sure what I will be having is facet joint injections. I've recently had 3 epidural steriod injections and the same doctor will be doing this procedure.

The epidurals did not help as the leg/nerve pain is now worse then before I had the first injection.
