Q: Cervical Rhizotomy Failure Rate

I am looking into getting a rhizotomy on my neck. I have had chronic neck pain for years. I have had facets, blocks, oral meds and now my md wants to perform this treatment.

What is the outcome, does it ever fail
thanks,

Extremely eHealthy
Yes They Can Fail
Is this procedure really appropriate??

I went to google.Com & searched under cervical rhizotomy & got alot of sites & yes this procedure can fail & from what I read I did wonder if this procedure was really what you needed - I suggest you google & check out the sites that come up for yourself.

In the same boat
Hi... I am going through the exact same thing. I was all set to have the Rhizotomy, but then I've been reading posts on the failure rate and the pain. I am nervous now and reconsidering this. I would also look online for support groups and find out as much as possible. Good luck!
