Merge to back pain

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to not merge. This topic is referred to and this article linked at Back pain. No discussion seems to have been initiated by the proposer of the merger. The size of this article has increased significantly since the proposed merger in February 2009. SBaker43 (talk) 08:26, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merging "Facet syndrome" with "Back pain" would be detrimental to many that may have this syndrome and have only and/or more prominent symptom(s) in other area(s) of the body. Such as neck pain, headache, pain that radiates to buttock(s), pain that radiates to the back of the thigh(s), and shoulder pain. My suggestion is to let it stand alone, but mention it under "Back Pain" as a possible cause. http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/f/facet_syndrome/symptoms.htm#symptom_list Lori Mae J.

I second Lori Mae J. on not including Facet syndrome under "Back Pain" as a possible cause. I also put forward my opinion, to classify it under Chronic Vertebral Conditions, along the lines of Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Ankylosing Spondtlitis, IVD Prolapse or herniation and so forth. - (Would like to remain Anonymous)

Some confusion in this article

Among other errors, this article had stated that the zygapophyseal joints start at C1, citing http://withtrauma.com/cervical-and-lumbar-facet-arthropathy/ . This is incorrect, as can be seen from the Gray's Anatomy images elsewhere on Wikipedia. C1 has no such processes, as it articulates with C2 by a horizontal gliding joint; C2 has inferior processes, making the C2-C3 joint the first proper zygapophysis. See images at http://www.backpain-guide.com/Chapter_Fig_folders/Ch05_Anatomy_Folder/3C1C2.html , and http://nsmec.wordpress.com/my-interests/for-professionals/facet-joint-disease/ Jonah Winters (talk) 04:11, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those edits was done by a highly abusive spam sockpuppet farm. I'm not surprised that it's incorrect. MER-C 06:13, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
