Thanks, I’m scheduled for 3 injections into my facets (lumbar/sac). Dr suspects some liquid buildup in the lower facet joints. These exercises make sense and I will begin regimen. PS: I’m 82, 6’1”, 190. Pretty much fitness guy most of my life. Within last 2- years, back, glute, back of leg accuse pain causing lassitude.

Thank you for explaining this the way you did. I told three doctors and two physical therapists that I have pain when standing up after being bent over for a short period of time, and facet syndrome was never mentioned. Months of PT did absolutely nothing. I finally requested an x-ray and it revealed degenerative facet arthrosis. These positions have been SO helpful in relieving pain after working on the yard all day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Hi all, I had a medial brach chain nerve block procedure around 4 months ago.
It's worked well to be fair, just wondering if there are any specific exercises, physio I could be doing to assist it?
I can't seem to find anything specific to the procedure anywhere.
Thanks

Thank you for these. I downloaded the PDF and subscribed! I needed some basic safe exercises to relieve my minor lower back pain. Too much time in front of a computer has created a few issues with my posture that I continue to work on. Thanks again!

Ive done physical therapy 5 different times and it never helps, actually makes it worse. Any exercise that i do to tighten my glutes causes a nasty flare up every time, any ideas doctor?

Two weeks ago I injured myself at the gym. I went in the ER for intense pain & numbness, right superior sacrum to Pevic crest and a narrow band inferiorally. ER diagnosis was "sprain". I followed up with a Orthopedic visit. An MRI Pevis (att'n: sacroiliac joint- R/O avulsion) was ordered & showed severe lumbar facet arthrosis R>L. O.A. is not surprising since I've had 2 hips replacement due to O.A. I discovered flexation of my spine eased the deep pain and the exercises in this video do indeed help. But I'm still with skin numbness & pain. With some research & a background as a Radiographer, I suspect some nerve involvement (superior gluteal or cluneal)? Skin hurts to the touch & "burns". It really hurts. I'm still not sure how to proceed.

I had a phone consultation with a physio the other day and she thinks I'm either experiencing facet joint pain or disc pain. My pain happens most when I do movements like the Cat pose, childs pose and hip tilts (digging back into the ground).

I continue to do these movements in hope that it will eventually help as I've only just started but I'm worried that they're exacerbating the root back pain cause.

hi I have problems with facet joints and I wonder if it is good to work out in the gym ??

[yvettemarquez]

Does he ever answer anyone??
I have pain going down my leg. I've been able to alleviate through prayer and kundalini yoga in the park(video) can these exercises still help?

[bigdogboos]

i think my issue is facet joints. Every morning i cannot stand straight up, it is sore and stiff. And it's just cronicly painful. I can also sometimes pull my leg down to pull my pelvis down, and hear/feel a huge pop which feels amazing. But when i let go it goes back to feeling compressed/pinched. Bending backwards kills, forwards brings relief.
My issue is when i try to do core exercises, it kills lots of the time. The transverse core muscle that goes around the waist like a belt, as it tightens triggers pain. So getting the core to stabilize is almost impossible. I am stuck in an infinite loop of suck

Would urinary retention be a symptom of facet joint syndrome

[Jacob-hlgt]

I have multi-level moderate degenerative facet arthropathy as well as a tiny disc protrusion at the L5-SI level without significant nerve root impingement. Wouldn't back bending be good for me?
