I think my neck is structurally “normal” but I did have C5-C6 Myelopathy. Talk about scary! It was affecting my arms and legs. Pain/numbness/pins and needles and walking like I was drunk. They said I could be in a wheelchair if I didn’t have surgery. I have constant neck pain from knots and spasms. I had an Ablation on c3-c5 which helped a lot. Unfortunately my nerves are regenerating and pain is coming back.
I also have a thoracolumbar scoliosis. I can’t believe I was only diagnosed with AS 2 months ago. It has been a long painful road. How are you doing? Are you on any meds? I hope you are doing well.

Hey Marnee, is your neck 'deformed'? Idkw if I'd call it that, but ... I cn't look up, down, right or left & it's always crunching, snapping & popping & kinda feels like it gets 'stuck' & hurts bigX when I do try to move! My head feels like it weighs 50lbs & I have to try to hold it up. Hard to explain really!! I've lost over a foot in height due to AS. Thx for listening & I sure hope you're enjoying a painfree Tuesday!!!😊

Life SUX someXs! I just wanna be 6'2" again!! Enjoy your evening my friends!!!😊

Well...? I'm hangin' in there, ~HA~ seems like that's all I EVER say...? If I cld just be 6'2" again, I swear I wld NVR complain about pain again! My Grandson has been in the PA Juvenile system since he was 10 ... he'll be 21 in March & will have NO where to go!! I'm in pain 24/7/365, can't stand up straight, only go to Dr appts, try to stay positive everyday. Idkw what to do? My daughter hsn't seemed to care since about 5yrs ago...? I cn't just let him be homeless, so ... my husband and I have decided to take him into our home ... I think? I've been the only one visiting him for the past 5yrs too. How can a Mom do that to her only son? Her 19yr old daughter is "missing" as well. I'm so happy they both stay in touch with me & Gramps. The ONLY thing that keeps me sane is that I KNOW they're both safe right now...!!! What should we do? (((...sigh...))) Thx for listening friends:) I'll shut up now ~LOL...😉...BUT~ I'll also listen to ANY & ALL 'advice' y'all might like to share!💕

I have never felt that. I just get the crackle and pop in my neck. Had Myelopathy a couple years back so I’m use to crunching all the time. Hope you are feeling better now.
