There have been people who had mild to moderate damage who's facet degeneration actually reversed to some degree and, not only resolved their pain, but also improved the facet condition. There's also people who've gone down hill post-ADR having started with mild to moderate degeneration. It's a crapshoot and the further beyond mild you get, your odds for fully addressing your pain get worse; they just don't drop to zero.
