Neuro is sending me to another doctor for facet joint injections. I am getting quite frustrated because my symptoms are nothing like what I read about facet joint syndrome. This has been going on for 15 months and I just feel like an un-listened to guinea pig!

1) My lower back muscles are always tight...even after massage
2) I have no nerve pain at all...I'm just always uncomfortable due to the tightness of the muscles
3) While riding in a car or sitting in a chair that isn't a straight up/hard chair I'm 100% fine
4) Walking feels GREAT
5) I have inflammation in my lower back and hips, but only realize it when someone pushes on me

Yesterday morning, I went to the Dr, then straight to lunch and sat in a cushy booth. Walked around the corridors of the mall for 15 mins. Had to stand for 20 mins at the Apple store. (rocking back and forth to help the tight muscle pain) Came home and then couldn't walk due to my muscles just 'dropping' me to the ground.

Does anyone think this could be facet joint syndrome? I don't know whether to call my neuro...or the new dr or what. I just feel they are sending me down the wrong road and I am totally not for putting more shots in my back that are uncalled for. The spinal shots i received last spring only made my condition worse.
