Facet Joint Injections
 

I am going to have Factet Joint Injections for Facet Joint Syndrome and OsteoArthritis (L4-S1) in my lumbar spine. What will happen when I get them will I have to be a day patient or will it be an outpatient appointment? I am quite scared. Please help. Thanks!

-hugs- I feel for you, I was supposed to go through the same thing for Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I ended up not going through with it.

From what they told me at the doctors, it's mostly an outpatient sort of deal, but I'm sure that depends on a case-by-case basis.

They also said that one should take it easy for a while after the injections, because they leave you feeling... well, like you had someone stick needles in your back.

Lemme know how it goes once you get it done!

I will let you know how it goes. Thank you for the link, I am just a bit scared ...
