A member asked:
Are there any meds that work to kill the paln of hypertrophic facet sclerosis? i'm to the point i can only stand for 6 minutes from pain and spasms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: If your doc has thoroughly evaluated you and is confident your pain is facet joint-related, there are several options. Oral antiinflammatories or steroids can work for acute pain. Injection of steroid is also an option and can confirm source of pain. If pain is chronic, rhizotomy may be a longterm option.
