what could be causing this??????

Every time I get up from laying down, especially in the tub, I have this pain in my back and neck. It feels like my spine between my neck and upper back is going back into place when I stand up. It makes like a grinding sound. My upper back hurts all day long but it's not unbearable, more uncomfortable. I have a cyst on my cervical spine, it's been getting a little bigger. Is it possible this could be causing these symptoms. I also get headaches all the time. Thanks Becky

Hi Becky. I'm a Lumbie, but I found this site on cervical stenosis:

ScarS, Thanks so much for the information. I'm going to look at it and see what it could be. Thanks again. Becky
