I was first diagnosed with Sciatica problems and spurs on my hip by an arthritis doctor. No results other than a shot. Went to a Rheumotologist diagnosed with Fybromyalgia mediation Lyrica didn't work. Now I am with a pain management specialist have had two nerve blocks, and a Lumbar Facet Injection. Now I'm suppose to have a Lumber Facet Denerative procedure and I'm not sure about this one! He is trying everything he can to get me out of pain. However, after having back surgery in "2002" I was told I had deteriation of the lower lumber. I was told that I needed to see a Orthopedic doctor and I'm not sure what to do at this point! The Neuro did a EMG (Normal) other test reveal lower back problems.

I need to know more about this "Lumber Facet Denerative" procedure. Has anyone been through all of this? I am in constant pain and I have gone the limit!

Thanks for any responses!
