New to the community- Facet Joint Osteoarthritis Injections
Hi guys- great to be part of the community!
Have recently been diagnosed with advanced Facet Joint Arthritis. This has followed a spinal fusion surgery 7 years ago. (I'm still only in my early 20's!)
Has anyone had any experiences with facet joint injections or neurolysis procedures? Did they improve your symptoms or worsen them?
Has anyone else had facet joint arthritis following a spinal fusion?
What are the best ways you guys have managed spinal arthritis in the long term?
Thanks so much!!

Hi @Kats12345
Nice to meet you.
I do not have facet joint arthritis but my ex MIL does and we are still very much in touch.
She had the injections several times and really found them helpful To be fair she is one of those people for whom steroid injections always seem to work.
Do let us know how you get on.
