Has anyone ever had a locked facet joint, particularly in the thoracic region?
I don’t know what to do about it and was looking for experiences or opinions from professionals.
I have a lock at T6/T7 and it feels like a knife in my back. My physio has used some soft tissue mobilisation and gentle pressure to try to unlock it but it won’t go, they said if it doesn’t want to go they won’t force it. I agree with this as I am risk averse.
the osteo I saw says it needs cracking back into position which he’s happy to do if I am. He seemed confident that I’d then feel relief after a couple of days and end this painful nightmare.
i have health anxiety and don’t know what to do. Any suggestions welcome. They’re both off now until the new year so I can’t do anything until then anyway but want to make the right decision
