A member asked:

Spect imaging demonstrates arthritis l5s1 facet joint left side.can this be cause of pain in pelvis/hip&groin? 2nd what is surgery option? iv had multiple injections&rhizotomy that didnt help.have app. with ortho soon&would like some idea ahead of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammation in the "L5S1 region" can provide referred pain due to an "arthritic" condition with peripheral nerve irritation. If direct injections of the area in the spinal vertebrae did not diminish the pain, your orthopedic surgeon may recommend surgery, which may include vertebral fusion.
