Yikes! I am glad to hear that you got a good diagnosis and repair work; it sounds like it is working out Ok for you. Thanks for the concern; I do get pretty regular treatment and have had x-rays of the area which seems to have none of those issues. I havy corrected some postural issues and have had improvement. Interestingly, when I have time off from work, the issues pretty much go away. I am planning to stop working a more high powered and stressful job (downshifting, as it is now called) in the next couple of years.
