So sorry to hear you're down!! I remember how hard that time was for me-unfortunately I didn't find this forum until I was post-op! I guess it's good news that the facet blocks didn't do anything, as it's a sign that they're not a pain generator, right? It's awful that you're in so much pain though. I really don't have any earth-shattering advice, just wanted to say hang in there-you'll be happy you went this route in the long run. Keep us updated!
