I am assuming that by "facet injections" you mean hydrocortisone injections at the site of spinal facets for pain relief. I still get them about every 6 months or so. I have a combination of osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease and the injections do help manage my pain.
What else can I help you with?

Why would i have sever pain in lower back from bilateral facet osteoarthrtis after an accident from a fall?
From what you have written you actually have two separate problems going on at the same time, making the pain more severe or intense than if you only had one problem at a time. Bilateral facet osteoarthritis means that you already have common degenerative arthritis going on in your lower back, located in the small facet joints in the back or rear area of the lumbar spine. By itself, lumbar facet osteoarthritis can hurt a lot when just going about your normal daily routines. But you say you also fell. It would appear that the fall you took aggravated the pre-existing lumbar facet arthritis, making your back pain worse than it already was. A facet is a type of joint found at the back or rear portion of the spine that gives support and strength to the spinal column while still allowing the spine to move. There are a total of 46 facet joints in the spine, made up of pairs of projections from two adjacent spinal bones that unit them together in a functional unit of strength and movement. These facet joints are all covered and further strengthened by layers of ligaments that reinforce each one. Your accident did not start the arthritis in the facet joints, but merely aggravated a condition that you have been developing for some time. How do I know this? Because it takes time, usually several years for any type or degree of arthritis to show up in an x-ray or MRI examination.
What is moderate bilateral facet arthropathy?
This sounds like a diagnosis someone discovered on a medical report. Mild is a rather obvious term, meaning only slight and perhaps the early phase of a problem. Bilateral means on both sides or opposite sides of a part of the body, usually meaning on the right and left side of the body. Facet refers to the joint or articulation where two parts of the spine connect at the back part of the spinal column. A facet joint is a small structure that acts like a hinge or point of contact between two connecting spinal bones (vertebrae) to offer support while still allowing movement in the spine. Osteoarthropathy is a term meaning early osteoarthritis, in which it is suspected that early joint cartilage softening and breakdown has occurred, with possible slight or mild bone changes that are typical of arthritis. Overall, the term means a doctor believes that someone has early osteoarthritis in the facet joints in an unidentified part of the spine, probably causing mild to moderate and occasional spinal pain and reduced movement when aggravated by excess movement or standing.

What non surgical treatments for dog meniscus tear are there?
Antiinflammatories and rest will help somewhat with the pain, but the actual damage will not heal itself. Over time scar tissue should form which may stabilise the meniscus and the joint somewhat, but osteoarthritis will still develop. Normal treatments for osteoarthritis will then be needed. The jury really is still out as to whether release of the meniscus is better than nothing, or even complete removal
