Is 56 yr young to have spinal facet arthropathy?
Hi, No it is not, I am 47 yrs & I have it along with Lumbar spinal stenosis. You can get this due to injury, accidents & wear & tear I believe. My facet joint was damaged due to being assaulted so I can tell you along with the stenosis it is a 24/7 painful suffering & due to being a high risk patient for any surgery let alone for a back Op I have no choice but to put up with it. However I would like to know what I am to look forward to in the future, (the outcome of untreated spinal stenosis / facet Arthropathy) ie how long before I become totally housebound or in a wheelchair but I have been unable to find anything online. If anybody here knows, please feel free to inform me. Thanks

What disease has symptoms of severe pain in tailbone area with no know injury to the area?
With no known injury to the area, the first thing to come to mind is a nerve problem, such as a herniated disk, spinal stenosis, or other spinal problems. However, it is important to assess lifestyle before jumping to conclusions. If a desk job/a lot of sitting around/driving is normal for you, you may be putting the area through too much strain, and look into ergonomic seating options. Otherwise, i would see a doctor to discuss possible spinal problems.
