Hi,
I have a question, I had a cervical facet injection and had no pain on either side of my neck for three weeks. Then I got another facet injection and the right side had no pain but the left side did. I can't figure out why. Does anyone know if there are facet joints on both sides and maybe my doctor just gave me a shot on the right side only? And that's why I have pain on the left side. I haven't seen my doctor yet. But am scheduled for 9/11/07. Thanks, Roxy

Positioning during the injection(s) can cause soreness afterward.
Here's a page that might explain some: http://www.spine.org/articles/facet.cfm You can find more by clicking on the link below: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22facet+joints%22 Any time I've had injections or PM procedures, it's been bilateral and multi-level. What did the pre-op consent form (that you signed) state would be done? The form you signed will tell you what was done. I always have to sign a form prior to any injection, etc., and I am given a copy before I am wheeled out.
