Facet Pain????

Well my (physical)pain journey began shortly before joining this site in 2013...


It started with an ache in my lower right back-near hip....I dismissed it as strain/etc...as did my doctor.


It never got worse---but constant....


Then....about 18 months ago...my thighs/hamstings cramped like mad!!! Literal balls of cramps in back of thighs!!!


THEN---the excruciating part came...a cramp in my right lower side/groin which was almost disabling!!


As routine...I got my endoscopy and colonoscopy done...which came back good---thank GOD!


So...I sought a chiropractor....as it turned out...a lower disc is baely pinching a nerve...and thus alll the discomfort! He calls the pain "facet pain".


This is my first time going to chiropractor....I have been going two weeks---3 times per week....it is helping quite a bit.


Anyone heard of facet pain?


Anyone has chiropractic treatments?

Haven't heard of "facet pain". But, know quite q few who have chiropractic therapy and it works for them. Glad to hear it is working for you!

I never had much luck with chiropractors, but I'm glad you are.
