Cervical rhizotomy with facet infiltration on 5 levels was successful pain relief for 2 weeks. it's been 2months now and the pain is worse.. what now?

Cervical rhizotomy: In a carefully selected patient, the benefit of cervical rhizotomy can last few months to years, If you think the pain is worse, then you need to contact the physician who performed it. Good luck.
