Hi Happy Biker and welcome to the board. I'm sorry to say that I don't know much about what you've described. The only gal I know with serious neck problems had to give up riding because it was just too painful for her and too damaging, apparently.

A more upright setup might be a good thing for you. I know a gal who has a road bike with hybrid bars and I think it's because of neck issues.

Anyway, I hope you are able to sort it all out and ride!
