Hi Tracy, welcome.

Here are links to the Spinal Disorders & Back Pain and Chronic Pain forums.

I have basically the same as you—both ends of the spine. PT has helped me some in controlling/defeating the headaches—chin tucks in particular. We also do (with DW's help) daily myofascial triggerpoint therapy for same.

I get and agree the headaches are the worst, cuz they occur where we live—in our heads. If I can avoid those, I can usually cope/deal with the rest with different forms of diversion therapy.

Best wishes,

Doc
