My neck has really been bothering me again. Wakes me up and makes it hard to sleep. I spent the night tossing from side to side, putting covers on, taking covers off, playing the revolving pillow game. I can't recall all the fancy medical jargon they used to say what's wrong with my spine, but there's several problems including mechanical. Every time a surgeon sees my neck pictures they want to do fusion surgery. So far I've held out. I've used several types of injections, spinal manipulation and acupuncture successfully, but it's all wearing off. The lack of deep sleep just makes the pain worse, a never ending cycle.
