I will definitely call him before then. I'm pretty sure he's going to say it's nothing, but it's worth checking out.

I totally understand that as one ages, their body starts to break down. But I'm only 23 and I've already had one back surgery. I'm not supposed to age this fast! It just adds up to me -- pain in the area the results talk about. Plus, having studied a ton of information about reading and interpreting MRI's, I can see some disc abnormalities in the exact spot of my pain. Of course, I'm not at all qualified to make that call, but it all adds up.

I appreciate you guys taking your time to talk to me about this. Normally, I'd be Googling up a storm, but I can't find much about facet osteoarthritis. It's frustrating!
