hi proxy
welcome to NT sorry you are going through this. it would seem you have a diagnosis, has your PC doctor seen the report on your neck problem , that I would imagine prove you are not just looking for drugs
many of us here live with pain controlling my breathing helps me, I once had problem with my neck and acupuncture help with that but it was a muscular problem
hope you get the help you need soon
here is a link to our back pain forum hope you can find support and something useful there
