@deecat I wanted to welcome you to Connect. I know I have had a bit of wear and tear on facet joints because my C5/C6 herniated and collapsed about 50% which put extra pressure on the facets at that level causing some arthritis. I didn't have any injections in them, but I did have that level fused. I do occasionally have some painful twinges on moving my neck that I know are other facet joints because I get a tweak out to the side of my neck. It's not enough to make me seek treatment because it is just occasionally that it happens and I'm ok when I stretch my neck muscles.

Hello @deecat, I moved your message to an existing discussion that has focused on your exact question of "Facet Joint Injections - Anyone Had Succes?" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/facet-joint-injections-anyone-had-success/.

It has been an ongoing discussion for some time now, so you may find some of the posts from members like @amberrose, @mamafluh, and @jetsetter helpful.

@deecat, has this treatment option been offered to you? What other sort of management have you tried?
