The facet joint is a synovial joint between the superior articular process of one (lower) vertebra and the inferior articular process of the adjacent (higher) vertebra. Medication can be injected into the facet joint to help block pain or as a diagnostic tool to determine the cause of back pain. more at Wikipedia

I have had a few of these over the last 2 years. I find they do well for me. They take the pain away for a while.

Horrible experience. 18 injections in my lower spine hitting the nerves between the joints. So tramatic that I had to go home and sleep! It did nothing to relieve my pain.
Somewhat Helpful
The first few seemed helpful but it lost its touch.

I have had about seven sets of injections in 2009 alone with NO relief whatsoever. I finally had to start refusing to have anymore because each time my pain was getting progressively WORSE. However, with a previous doctor, I got over six months of MAJOR relief from two sets of shots- that was in 2005. They haven't worked again since.
