Alternatively, you could seek an opinion that doesn't rely on the fact that your physician seemed to rely on your chiropractor's diagnosis to prescribe pain-killers for you. I think while there's nothing wrong with pursuing the "facet lock" diagnosis, that you haven't gotten an appropriate diagnosis and that, given more information and a proper physical exam, there might be more to offer. If you hurt your rhomboid, an x-ray is not going to pick that up--it's just a "comfort" test to make sure you don't have any gross bony abnormalities (comfort for the physician, not you).
I don't know what you were doing at the time that you were lifting, so I, as a physician, would not want to speculate on possible diagnoses based on the symptoms you've presented here, because I don't know by what mechanism you hurt yourself.
