How To Treat Broken Tailbone?

HI. I am a 15. I broke my tailbone, sacrum, and back. I have had a very bumpy and rough road dealing with the pain, and with the movements in my facet joints, and SI joints. I have been over to 20 doctors trying to figure out the problem. I was in bed for 2 months, and i am able to move now but i have a pain level at a 9. The original injury was over 18 months ago. i was in a hip brace, and a hard back brace. I have had 2 injections. I had a reaction to a patch and got an infection and was hospitalized for about 3 weeks total. I now have a very bruised and swollen spine, and the doctors don t know why. My main question for you today is about facet joints. One of the things mentioned to me was putting in a rubber band next to your facet joints to give them support and to be able to function better. It was a small, and minamal invasive surgery. Do you know what this is? and where i can get more information on it? Thank you for your time.
