Well, the hell I went through getting the last set of injections about a month ago is apparently all for naught.  The jerk doc said it would last 6 months to 2 years, I don't know in what universe!  It's been only a month, and the pain has been in the process of returning for the last week and a half.  I have been trying to tell myself it wasn't really coming back, but I can't deny it any longer.  It's definitely back, and now I'm stuck with a prescription for fewer Lortab each day.  Luckily I get to go to my regular pain doc this tuesday and discuss this problem, but not sure if they will put me back on my regular dose or not.  Even still, I really need a total med change.  It's just not effective like it used to be.  Someone posted about a new pain med coming out in Canada made with the puffer fish poison that is not addictive, doesn't lose it's effectiveness and just plain and simply kills the pain.  Anyone know more about it?  Also, radiofrequency or rhizotomy has been mentioned.  Anyone have experience with this?
