My cervical facets fused themselves. I went through a windshield when I was 17 years old, and I'm pretty sure that was the catalyst. I get pretty bad pain whilst standing, which was interesting because I was a surgical nurse in Cardiothoracic surgery. I am hoping RFA is in my future. I'm active, I walk 5 miles a day, which helps me. Sitting, standing and any work that requires looking up or down is difficult. Holding retractors was excruciating. I am now early retired because my neck can't hold up for hours at a time. Plus I have occasional drop days 😬🤦♀️, now that is annoying.
I've tried over the counter pain medication it doesn't help at all even patches icy hot etc I'm still in severe pain I have degenerative disc disease and degenerative facet disease in the lumber spine
Yea they said my L5 S1 has bad spinal stenosis and spondylitis I'm not getting the injection I'm having a fusion done next month and my recovery will be a year not looking forward 2 it
@@christinaboyd9684 I’m so sorry for your pain, as I know it all too well😢 I wish you the best outcome, I’m sure it will be better, than the pain you are now suffering 🙏🏻
@@christinaboyd9684 WOW!!! Four kids, that’s a Blessing! You are young, so, I believe you will heal and be so much better🙏🏻 I’m 56, no children, and my work was performing/vocalist, but, after a car accident in my twenties ( fractured L5) my back was never the same, fast forward to 2016, find out I have MANY degenerative issues😥
is there any permiment fixes? would a spine fuzion fix this? been 5 years , last year my pain was almost gone but 1 wrong move now its back in full force
I was diagnosed with suspicious par stress fracture at L5 on right side according to my lumber MRI REPORTS. After 3 months of rest it is healed completely according to my current lumber ct scan reports. Overall reports are normal including all the disc height , canal, as well as no facet joint arthopathy is not there. But the problem now is that i have right side lower back pain when i over extend my spine. (while doing any bodybuilding back muscle posing ) specially it feels like the pain is in the bone or joint. Please help sir i am very much tensed about it. I used to do bodybuilding and want to continue with it 🙏🏻 . . One thing i would like to mention is that the pain was gone after 3 month of inactivity at my lower back but i did extreme yoga streching and after than i am experiencing lower back pain again on my right side while extension but also i did my lumber ct scan after this only. So no abnormalities revealed please do reply 🙏🏻
