Thanks for the heads up, I do appreciate it. I had an xray this week and meet with the spine doctor. He said the xray looks good and there is no bone damage. His theory is that I have developed "Facet Syndrome." Facets are small joints in the vertebra and basically facet syndrome is when the synovial fluid/cartilage is wearing away and causing bone on bone friction in the facet joint. He said treatment for this is an xray-guided corticosteroid injection that can help stop the inflammation. There are done risks with this treatment, but major concerns are estimated at a risk factor of about 1%. Has anyone had this procedure done before? I've got to be honest, I'm not a big fan of corticosteroids. Prolonged exposure to them can less to avascular necrosis (where the blood supply is cut off from the bone, and literally kills the bone). What about using deca (nandralone deconata)? I've heard deca is amazing for joints.
