This aging thing is for the birds. I don't think PT is worth a crap! C5/C6 posterior bulge...osteophytes..blah..blah...blah..meaning... OLD NECK! If I don't look to the left....don't lift any heavy objects....don't look down...It's just a pain in the neck! But...get that good 'ol friction going in the joint space...and the swelling begins....into the shoulder...down the arm...and if I'm stupid enough to go golfing...right into the thumb and first finger. I had to give up running years ago, because of the arthritis in the lower back. Now? I give up doing anything to the left..and lift nothing heavier than my cell phone. Good grief. Or...get the surgery...and watch the rest of the neck crumble. Ach de leiber (sic)!

Ain't it the truth? Who said these were our "golden years?" LOL. If you ask me, they SUCK. My whole body is falling apart. LOL. I had 3 surgeries, before the internet came into being, so I didn't know all about this crumbling effect. Now I sure do cause my whole spine is in ashes. LOL.
![]() Golden years, my foot. It's more like "foldin years." lol Take care. hugs, Lee
