Facet joint arthrosis support
Hello All I am just doing a post again a follow up relating to my previous one I had a assessment with my physiotherapist and we discussed about the facet joint arthrosis that I have got and I was told that it isn’t arthritis and that I am at a high risk of getting arthritis in my spine and lower back but I am feeling very confused which is making me feeling really anxious and helpless especially as I do not feel like I have been told the correct information and I cannot process my condition along with the other ones I have due to this but I need help from anyone that has this condition as I have a few questions to ask .
- Is this condition arthritis of the facet joints
- Is this curable or a life long condition
- Is this condition progressive and will progress over time as I was told it should not
- What am I at risk off due to this as I told arthritis
In the mean time I will be pushing with my gp or even the physiotherapist to help me get referred to a specialist to discuss things further and no what’s what because at the end of the day I’m the one that has this condition and I also have mild scoliosis that all affects me physically and I am the one that has to live and deal with these not them and I should be feeling reassured not helpless and hopeless , confused and anxious by everything especially as I have been told different things from my GP and now the physio and it’s like instead off going forward I’m just going backwards .
