Since November 2010, I have been "suffering" from pain in my lower back that has significantly affected my life. For 8 months I made countless trips to the emergency room and to the doctor's office with hopes of finding out what caused the pain, and how to manage the pain. It wasn't until August 2011 that I was finally diagnosed! What a relief! Facet Syndrome is very difficult to diagnose. I was having pains in my abdomen, right hip, and lower back. My gynecologist diagnosed me with having a uterine fibroid, which made sense because of the location of the pain. I was scheduled to have a procedure done called endometrial ablation (http://women.webmd.com/endometrial-ablation-16200) to help with other symptoms of the fibroid.
I didn't trust the diagnosis to be honest, and I wanted to make sure that the procedure was necessary because I desire to have more children. I sought 2 other opinions from different doctors, and it was brought to my attention that my pain was originating from either my bones, joints tendons, or ligaments. After a visit with the chiropractor, the diagnosis was confirmed: Facet Syndrome. I felt so relieved! It's emotionally taxing when you're experiencing pain and don't know what is causing the pain. At one point, I thought my pain was a result of some psychosomatic disorder! Turned out, the pain caused me to feel depressed! Now that I know what is wrong, I can take steps to improve my pain, and my life!
