Finaly after 6months and getting worse my doctor sends me for xrays, it shows that my neck curveture is backwards. MRI & Cat scans show my neck is a mess and full of arthritis. OK i've had osteo & rhumetoid arthritis for the last 10 and my meds work fine..no problems with flare up or nothing.

I was reffered to a specialist...he says he can fuse my neck, but he is more worried about the shrinkage of my cerebelum??? (i've never been a heavy drinker) I've develop this uncontrol movement and what i call tourette movement only in the last month after taking a anti inflamatory for my neck. I also have this swelling that occurs left side of neck to just below my adam apple per say, specialist says it may be goiter. This new swelling comes and goes and it's like i'm being choked.

I just need a place where maybe i can find some answers before my next visit to another specialist .

Sorry i was so long winded.
