It sounds like what you are talking about is a lumbarized S1, or the presence of 6 lumbar vertebrae. When you are talking about S1-S2, is that what some might refer to as L6-S1? You have a functioning disc and facet joints at this 6th level? Your question is well taken... if its not moving, why are facets arthritic???

Has anyone considered trying discography there?
