It had gotten to the point where I was in pain all the time and was unable to turn my head or anything. I would have to turn my whole body to look to the side, bend forward to look down, etc. It was pretty miserable although nowhere near the level of pain that you are dealing with. Just wanted to say that it sucks and send you lots of support. After plenty of therapy, both physical and psychological, I am feeling so much better. There are times(like now) when I can feel my body being seriously impacted by the stress and other issues in my life once again.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. It means a lot to know that you can relate, especially in such a similar way. It also helps me feel hopeful of the possibility of getting relief by working through it all.

I had two MRI's done - one year apart from each other - and the 2nd MRI showed substantial damage, comparable to someone getting into a car accident or having some other kind of physical trauma. My neurologist was perplexed as to how I could have sustained that kind of additional damage in just a year without going through any kind of physical trauma.

It amazes me how we can hurt ourselves physically in such profound and damaging ways without even realizing it.
