This patient was diagnosed with facet arthropathy.  Elderly patient's back condition can commonly be mistaken as due to spinal stenosis or lumbar disk disease.  After proper diagnostic blocks determined the etiology, I performed a Rhizotomy (laser ablation) which completely eliminated the "pain generator".  He was discharged feeling much better.
