A member asked:
I have mild lumbar hypertrophic disease in the facet joints with ligamentum flavum thickening. will it progress or can it be reversed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progressive: This is a progressive condition. It is unusual for a 27 years old to develop significant degenerative disease. There may be mechanical factors like scoliosis, leg length discrepency or abnormalities of the joints of the lower limbs. A physiatrist or experienced physical therapist may be able to help.
