Facet joint pain

[bourne62]

Please anyone who has been diagnosed with the above can you describe the position and type of pain you have. Also is it worse sitting, is it constant and does it radiate. Mine is worse sitting but I also get it constantly even at rest. It is to right oc spine low in back. It is in buttocks down thigh and even to knee and groin.

I am asking because the Drs disagree on whether it is facets or not. I do not hurt bending back either which is supposed to be a definitive test. My mri showed marked hypertrophy at l4 l5 but I am so co fused as symptoms dont fit what you read on Internet.

Would be great to hear from people who have it. I am worrying myself sick a d have even convinced myself it is a tumour in sacrum despite ct when it first started

I have had very similar symptoms to what you've mentioned. 2 years ago they found I have sacroiliitis (SI joint dysfunction). Then 1 year ago they found a hip labral tear. So I definitely recommend you ask them to check for those... low back pain, sacroiliitis, and hip labral tear have overlapping symptoms.
