Unless it is evaluated, it's hard to tell as it depends on the level of the facet hypertrophy.

Your best best is to schedule an evaluation with a physical therapist. They will be able to assess your strength and mobility and prescribe exercises and modalities that are safe for your condition, relieve pain and speed the healing process.
