Injured back 6 months ago. ct scan shows mild arth of facet joint of l5/s1 with spurring on right side. just 22 having suicidal thoughts.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek Counseling ASAP: Never minimize suicidal thoughts. They are often a manifestation of anxiety or depression and need to be addressed quickly. Counseling and/or medication is useful. Ct scan showing facet joint arthritis w/spurring likely represents a mild chronic issue that, if causing pain, likely can be treated with anti inflammatory medication. An orthopedist would help.
