Question on Faucet Pain...
As you all know I am scheduled to go to Germany for ADR. Been doing more reading and have come accross Faucet pain. Can anyone explain the difference between Faucet pain and pain due to a protuding disc?

"Facet" Pain
As to if a person can feel the difference between the two, it’s unlikely. Worse, many patients can have both as a pain generators, since degenerative disc disease can “fan out” to adjacent tissues. As degeneration occurs, the change in bio-mechanics stress other joints and ligaments -- especially the facets (Z joints).
That’s where a good diagnostic approach can help, whether surgical, natural, or both. I used both approaches. Any way, by now, you must be an expert in using the search function which works well. You'll find posts like these: http://www.adrsupport.org/forums/f60...et-pain-10999/ http://www.adrsupport.org/forums/f51...t-issues-9726/ http://www.adrsupport.org/forums/f51...e-levels-9734/ http://www.adrsupport.org/forums/f45...2-level-10361/ http://www.adrsupport.org/forums/f50...-nov-1-a-9456/ These are just a few of many examples of useful topics, please read these carefully. Also, please insert a signature with your spinal history...3-5 lines please.
