Difficult to locate: The facet joints in the back are deep, under the muscles, and it is not possible to exactly localize the source of pain for patient. So it is quite possible to feel pain on both sides in lower back only way to localize the pain is to block the joint with anesthetic and see if the pain goes away after the block i hope that helps.
