Welcome to Neuro Talk,
We are glad you found this site, as you can already tell you will get lots of information and compassion. In this instance I agree with Doc. Smith to get an evaluation with a pain specialist. He can get you into the right kind of non invasive therapy with out making your current condition worse. You don't want to engage in those activities that hurt. Listen to your body. I am so sorry you have this condition. I reversed the curve of my cervial spine and was fused C3-7 so I do know a little about what a curvature of the spine feels like. I now am limited to what I can do, which is OK by me, as the pain isssue from neck is stable. Please do seek an opinion, with regard to your pain, and what kind of therapies may be suggested to you. In the meantime welcome again, and feel free to explore all the sites that are on the forum. You can join in any conversation you want to. Hope you meet some new friends too. ginnie
