Thelma,
I followed up for my cervical spine with a local OSS here in San Diego that I had seen for a surgical opinion on my low back (he recommended 2 level ADR w/Delamarter) and an xray showed that C4 vertebrae is moved backwards from the normal cervical curvature. There's DDD at multi levels and 3/4 is very degenerative ~ he said he thought I had an anular tear most likely that tore more with some event recently so hence my symptoms and spasms.

I'm to be careful to not further exacerbate the area and can come in for shot of Toradol before I go on my trip to Florida to see my father with my 3 coach plane seats as usual.

The OSS had asked me if I had the surgery that was recommended a few years ago on my lumbar area and I said "no" and he said "good, too many levels involved".

I kinda think if I had said yes, and it was successful he would have said "good" and if the results were bad there would have silence or the proverbial "well, you know how it is with multiple levels..."



I wonder if this is a long term effect of the Methadone ~ delusion of OKness...

Stay well and will look forward to your posts~ Maria
