Is it possible that a facet pain in the dorsal area to resolve with time? it started 5 months ago.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Pain in the dorsal area may be related to the facet. If so, the pain should improve with sitting and lying on the side. The facets can become inflamed and resolve with time. Strengthening the muscles around the facet will facilitate this improvement and is not dangerous.
