Hello to Austrialia! Glad you found this site. You are going to love it here. Many of us have issues with their spines encluding me. I am fused C3-7.
Pain is an issue for most of us. You will be greeted by others too. don't hesitate to go to the spine forum. Leesa is the best on the site for interpretation of MRI's etc. All of us support each other. I was fairly hysterical when I found NT myself. Got through some rough times with this group of people. Welcome again, feel at home here. ginnie
