Hi,



Thank you for posting your query.



I feel there is no need to worry regarding your procedure- bilateral lumbar facet injections.



Inflammation of the chest wall- do you mean costo chondritis. Again, it is a minor issue and there is no need to worry.



You will feel much better after the procedure.



Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
