NY. I have been suffering insomnia for more than 20 years (I had it when I was 15 yr old). I have seen doctors, sleeping specialists and phychitrists. None of them helped me at all. One month ago, I started to take Ornithine and I was able to have some sleep since then but I still couldn't sleep soundly.
Facet Joints Video. Facet Hypertrophy is the term used to describe a degeneration and enlargement of the facet joints. The facet joints, which are a pair of small joints at each level along the back of the spine, are designed to provide support, stability, and flexibility to the spine.
This joint is a potential source of pain. Each level of the spine has a three-joint complex to provide for the joint functions. There are two facet joints in the back and a large disc in front. This provides the stability. in the case of lumbar facet joints, the joints get inflamed.
