We need to know why you’re falling, first and foremost. Facet joint pain without some additional factor does not usually account for legs giving out or other neurological causes of your falls. RFAs are usually quite helpful in addressing confirmed lumbar facet joint related pain for 6 months or so at a time. However, the local muscles can become weakened from RFA and strengthening is key!
