A member asked:
Can oral prednisone help with acute lumbar facet syndrome pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A bandage?: May provide transient relief, assuming the diagnosis is correct. If you have pain bending backward, the diagnosis is likely. Facet arthitis is caused by degenerative arthitis of the facet joints. Better options are nsaids and exercise!
