Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

It is unfortunate that you suffered multiple spine injuries and despite multiple surgeries, you have not improved.
Rhizotomy is a good and safe surgical procedure, and there are good chances that your chronic pain would improve with this procedure.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
