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.
A person's spine consists of vertebrae which lock together through small bones called facets, thus creating the spine. In facet sclerosis, the facets have become malformed due â¦ to thickening and hardening which causes a great deal of discomfort because the spine is not locking together as smoothly as it should do.o... hypertrophic facet sclerosis means that (some) joints in the spine look overgrown. And (since I'm guessing this was diagnosed via x-ray) the sclerosis refers to the extra whiteness that shows up on the x-ray in the area of those joints.
