Hi OsteoMom,
Welcome to the board. I have cervical spondylosis (arthur in the neck) and lumbar DDD. I hang out here too.
I was injured at work(twice)and am going through all kinds of testing and procedures to find out what is actually going on with me. I haven't had surgery, but someday I may need to.
I have learned a lot on this board and enjoy it very much. I have been out of work since March of this year.
Take care, Jaz
