3 Year ADR Update

[Jim M2]

Everyone knew about the cyst. It was obvious (to them) on the imaging and it was in all of the reports.

I always felt like a rhizo would mask the pain and allow me to abuse the joint even more. When the rhizo wore off I'd feel worse than before. I'm starting to think this may not necessarily be the best strategy. I just wonder what the endgame is for a worn facet. If I didn't have ADR the whole level would eventually fuse, and with any luck, pain would fade away after years. Now with the motion enabled from the ADR what's the endgame? Maybe the facets will hypertrophy, and spurs, cysts and pain will develop until the facets become immobile?
