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

Worked for a very short time and was right back to same pain level.

It really helped reduce the inflammation in my back where the incision from the SCS was hurting very bad.

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.

The first few seemed helpful but it lost its touch.

did this 2 times and it only worsened my condition.

Tried these Extremely painful! Unfortunately didnt work for me but I wouldnt rule it out for others as they surely must work for some people or they wouldnt do them. I was warned prior to having them they probably wouldnt work but when youre in so much pain you will try anything.

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.
