I was going to suggest an MRI to see what is going on. I had a cervical fusion 1.5 years ago when one disk had slipped & was impaling itself into my spinal cord. No fun.

Now, I'm having lower back issues too. All docs agree that neck & low back pain go hand-in-hand. My ortho did an MRI & said discs are bulging. I've just started to see an acupuncturist who is helping.

Caution about chiro's - be sure you have a good one. I saw a chiro before an ortho & I believe that the chiro might have made things worse. He didn't have an MRI to consult, so it wasn't really his fault.

I had a cyclist for my PT after my cervical fusion. He prescribed exercises that I could do at stoplights. Looks a little weird, but gives people something to talk about! "Hey Mildred - look at the crazy woman doing a turtle thing with her neck! HA HA HA!"
