I am scheduled to have nerves in lower back cauterized to address back pain. wondering about success of procedure in your experience. ?

Mixed: Back pain has many causes: muscles, disks, joints, ligaments, and referred pain from other sources. The small branch nerves to the facets which are treated with Facet Rhizotomy are only one part of the picture. In my experience, the success rate of Facet Rhizotomy has been less than 40 percent in terms of long term relief. This procedure is also called radio frequency ablation.
