A member asked:
I had an rfa on my left lumbar facet joints today and my left leg keeps giving out. is this normal? it's kind of scary.

No: No it is definitely not normal. I would let your doctor know. Is it because it is numb? Weak? Painful? They may have injected a local anesthetic during the procedure that temporary numbed the nerve; but I would just make sure your doctor is aware.
