Rhizotomy not the : treatment for your pain unless you had good relief from facet blocks prior to it. Sounds like there are multiple but overlapping reasons for your symptoms that may be managed more with exercise, activity modification , possible simple back support , medication regimen (NSAID, Neurontin/Lyrica, Cymbalta (duloxetine) etc depending on allergies & medical hx) along with lifestyle changes: no tobacco use, stay fit
