My physical therapist today was reading my bone scan report and said there was facet joint arthritis from L3 to L5, which has been causing me lower back pain and leg sciatica type pain. My posterior fusion was down to L5 so it seemed strange that I would still have the facet joints on there as it was my understanding that they were removed during the fusion and I'm not sure why they would be causing me problems one-year post-op.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this?
