See ORS or NS: Again , i would suggest seeing a board certified ors ( w/ subspecialtry training in spine) or a neurosurgeon . Possibly a 2nd opinion @ this point may help you clarify your diagnosis , teeatment alternatives and prognosis. Best of luck!

Yes They Can Heal: Platelet Rich Plasma is a treatment that has shown good success however is considered experimental at this time. The basic theory is it helps to strengthen the ligaments around the facet joint using your own platelets/growth factors and therefore reducing stress on the joint by tightening them up. Its safer than steroid injection and can heal tissues. Pretty cool stuff. Check out Regenexx.Com.
