Yesterday I had a radiofrequency neurotomy at L3, L4, and L5 on the right side of my back. In English, this means the doctor stuck three big needles in my lower back and zapped some nerve endings with electricity. It was about as much fun as it sounds.
I got some Versed for the procedure, though, which made it more enjoyable. It hurt, but as soon as it was over, I fell asleep. I woke up long enough to leave the hospital, then fell asleep again. I woke up partway home to eat lunch at Panera, then slept the rest of the way home.
My back feels good today. Well, the right side does. The left still hurts. I get that side done next week. After that I have to start physical therapy.
