Actually, I have tried both facet and epidural injections, however, the epidural was performed prior to my ADR, so, I can understand why it probably was of limited effectiveness. You're correct about the cost of prolotherapy - not cheap. On the good side, both practitioners I met with said that if I was going to benefit from the therapy, I would know after the first treatment, so, I only plan to sink major $$$ into it if I see results.
