have facet issues?
but even so, the doctor focuses so much on this and ignores or dismisses my bone spurs. i have told him that i feel and hear crunking sounds. i have sharp sudden pain shoot into my hand. hum, and it the lower c spine that i keep complaining about. anyway, they want to try some radio freq. stuff on my facets. has anyone had any relief from this?
