Facet Aropathy
by rymacz, May 29, 2008 12:03PM
I have tried facet injections, physical therapy, various forms of Yoga, medications, ice packs, etc to help curb the burning and pain I have in my scapula, under my arm and up my neck from an arthritic spine & facet aropathy. I am only 31 years old and have suffered from pain & numbness fo ryears in my back neck, and now hands & feet. The only relief I get is through massage but that is only temporary. Does anyone know if Prolotherapy is worth trying? Or if anyone in the Boston area performs it? I have heard it is not always covered by insurance but thought I would at least look into it if there is a chance it could help.

But I think that your pain is due to soft tissue inflammation-----"The only relief I get is through massage" ----- so relive inflammation is your treatment option ,not thickening or strengthening tissue.
If you need a little advice,deep and intensive needles do better job for this.
Good luck!
