You can check to see if facets are a pain generator by getting a facet nerve block done....Have it done more than once to be sure...

I don't want to sound harsh, but you need to do this research before allowing someone to cut you open and stick an implant inside of you....
Thinking that an ADR is some kind of magic device that will solve all your problems is being foolish...
Do your due diligence and don't rush into anything..
My 2 cents because I hate to see people suffer from this affliction
