This has been happening for a very long time for more than 10 years. She says it all started when she fell and hit her back when i was very young and it just gradually got worse. She has went to several doctors yet nothing's really changing. She now constantly has severe back and neck pain and has very stiff neck that she can only straight and not to the side. Her back keeps keeps getting more and more arched. It is also a pain for her to get out of bed in the morning. Could someone here have the same experiences or could help me understand this case better?

    You need a definitive diagnosis which will set your mom on a treatment path.  That will require some imaging studies to be read by a neurosurgeon.  Only then will you have an answer and a plan to follow.

    Get her to see a different GP and get referred  for MRI, in the mean time try and find a really good chiropractor, years of pain will have put stress on her whole body so probably needs lined up, acupuncture is good but for me not long lasting. if her MRI results do show anything then research thoroughly before making any decisions, good luck and keep us updated😊
