He just did two, but now he suspects that the bottom two below those are the culprits. I don't know what he used for the facet blocks, but I'll ask. Thank you for the information...I appreciate it!:)

Yes, I did have that done. I think I have a weird body!

I had it done and it made no difference. The doctor said he wants to try the two nerves just below but needs to wait 6 weeks. In the meantime, back to the Darvocet!

Thanks so much for your explanation. I should actually be looking forward to this rather than having the apprehension I've been feeling.

I've had facet blocks, epidurals, and most recently another facet injection to ensure the cause of pain. What I'm most concerned about is the sensation when the nerve is "burned". Is this a jolt that sends patients screaming or more of a tingling sensation?
