Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hey Rochelle, on the facet joint stuff . . . have you been diagnosed with facet joint arthritis? If so, it might be a pars defect instead; it's hard to tell the difference on an MRI or CT. Just before my fusion, they diagnosed me with facet joint arthritis. Turned out, I had a bilateral (broken) facet joint, also called a pars (interarticulate) defect. Debbie Dahl Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
