Post Hello, new to these boards. Have neck troubles.

I discovered this medical board when searching for support forums for osteoporosis. I have the "osteopenia" which is preliminary stage to osteoporosis - hence the name "OsteoMom".

Then I noticed the other categories and thought I would visit this section. Bad enough I have to deal with osteo. But I have neck troubles and muscle spasms that just won't go away, a mild disc bulge in my neck but doc says shouldn't be causing trouble. Was in an auto accident a while back. My PT guy says there's a reason why muscles keep locking up and spasming and that my body is doing it to try and protect something...but who knows what. I also seem to be having some lower back aches and stiffness lately and wonder if that could be from all the problems I'm having up higher. Don't know if neck problems can cause trouble down lower but sure seems that way to me.

Or I wonder if this early osteoporosis stuff in my spine and hips is causing the stiffness and achiness.

Or maybe I'm getting arthritis in my spine. That's all I'd need!

Can I hang around this board as well as the osteo one? Pretty please? Huh? Huh? Huh?

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
