I was introduced to my facet this weekend. Unfortunately, the introduction didn't go anything like this:

"Eriq, meet Facet. Facet, meet Eriq."

No, it was more like this:

Eriq leans over to pick up a shoe from the floor. Facet stabs Eriq in the back and laughs maniacally.

So after two trips to my chiropractor, I now have a much better understanding of why the facet is causing me such pain, and what I'm supposed to do about it. Which is basically move very carefully and try not to make it any unhappier than it already is. And with a 2mm difference between normal facet positioning and extreme pain, well, it's going to be an interesting couple of days.

Basically, keep your facets happy. Life will be much better if you can.
