Cheryl,
Many of us seem to go down same path. Lumbies become cervies, and cervies become lumbies.
I had neck pain flare ups when I entered the land of lumbar collapse 6 years ago. I think the neck problems were from a chiropractor and some weird positional things I tried to relieve pressure on the lower back. Now I have classic chronic cervical pain that I attribute to DDD and radiating pain all the way to the finger tips. The chronic DDD component never stops. The radiating component comes and goes.
One more thing. After three years of fidgiting and doing variations of handstands to relieve weight from the lumbar, I developed wrist and elbow pain. I don't think it's related to cervical nerve compression, it feels orthopedic. They x-rayed the wrists last month and said everything looked fine. They sure don't feel fine.
