    Hi Karen. Its really hard coping with pain when its at it worst. Eventually, you learn to cope with it better. You also need to be taking the right meds for you. I am still in pain, but because I have now got mine under some control, its not so bad. If I ever forget to miss one of my meds, I pay for it. I have my appt on 13th March to meet up with the spinal team. My specialist has arranged to meet me there. Hopefully, I might get something sorted. I have had this last episode of pain since the beginning of February last year

      Hi. Mine involves discs from c3/4 to c7. One of them is bulging, causing pressure on the spinal cord. This is the one thats causing all my problems. For some odd reason I have a c shaped curvature of some of the vertebrae in my neck, and this is wher the problem lies. I have a form of osteoporosis where my bones are very soft and its causing a wide range of problems.
