Have you considered the de-nervation route some other mebers talk about? Maz

I had talked this over with my Physiatrist when I saw her last year but I have done well since my last injections last December. I am sure it is facet pain as it hurts to sit. I had been doing so well except in the last month or so and it seems to be getting worse. I would do anything to not be in chronic pain again. It sucks.
