I have read several responses to this email and having had spinal surgery to remove arthritic spurs from C6-C7, as well as T10-11, I would highly recommend that you do not listen to any of these people. Go directly to a neurosurgeon in your area who can do an MRI and/or x-rays of the affected area to tell you exactly what the state of your cervical pain is. My pain started with pain in my shoulder and after going to several specialists an orthopedic surgeon remommended that I see a neurosurgeon (e.g. they could find nothing wrong with my shoulder). The surgeon found that I had spurs that were impacting my spinal cord nerve endings. I was operated on a month later and the pain went away completely. Osteoarthritis of your spine generates spurs which can damage your spinal cord....this is nothing to fool around with. Pain in your back can actually be felt in many parts of the body as the nerve endings all pass through your spinal cord. In the case of my latest surgery (middle back T10-11) my spinal cord was actually flattened by the spurs which was causing numbness in my legs had they not operated when they did I could have been paralyzed. So, take it from someone who has chronic osteoarthritis in almost every joint in their body.............go to an expert for proper diagnosis.
