A member asked:

Can a bone spur grow on a facet joint 1 month after an injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The answer is yes. Injury to an area increases blood supply, brings inflammatory cells ; chemicals into the area, and for bone or ligament injuries, the formation of a bone spur is not unusual.
