I assume when I wrote this list that I knew I needed another rhizotomy (I can't remember), or this would have been a risky item to include. This must have been about the time I started having a relapse of the sharp, stabbing pains in my back. The first rhizotomy only lasted about 12 months before the pains came back. It wasn't long after writing this list before I had the second one.



It's been over a year since the second rhizotomy, and the sharp stabs haven't come back this time, so I'm hoping it did the trick this time. Apparently 80% of rhizotomy patients don't need another, so hopefully I'm in that bracket this time.



Of course, I still suffer from back pain, but the stabbing pains are worse, so the rhizotomy was helpful. (less) (less)
