I had a cervical spine mri about 2 yrs ago. It showed mild compression.
There is very little pulling, quite gentle. Jo it seems that physio always flares me up. This time it was different, the burning really increased, neck, shoulders, arms,elbows, wrists and swelling, which is usual for me left and right hand. But the burning in the middle of my spine I never felt this before, usually in my back left scapula area and from my left side of neck down into my elbow(well my whole left arm affected).
I'm thinking if you feel you need to resist the pull you may be tensing your muscles unconsciously and getting spasms from that?
Not to sure, maybe,but at the time it didn't hurt or make me tense.
The physiatrist said my nerves are misfiring??


If you are wondering about RSD might be best to mention the subject it to the dr.
see what he says.
