Wear and tear due to age? It's hard for me to believe that computer type work would cause a problem like you described. Unless you did not use proper posture, sitting in front of a monitor for long long periods of time. Mine is from whiplash. I also do computer work, and yeah it causes more pain. Has your doc ran any MRI's? They are more in depth and better diagnosis and then what treatment should be followed. I am going the conservative way of treatment right now. Traction on the neck, twice a week. And PT. Its not working. The next step for me is a Discogram. Then most likely surgery. Just got a report back from my neurosurgeon. What sort of doc are you seeing? Before you go onto surgery, there are other steps of treatment you should follow. No, never had surgery on the neck before. But have read that your attitude and following docs orders afterwards is a biggie to get better.
I forgot to add that I am also doing trigger point injections. Along with the traction. Having one hell of a headache from traction earlier. Had a trigger point injection last week, something weird happened. After the injection, my right ear started hurting really bad, like a fullness in them also. Also a buzzing with a pulsing noise. Could be something to do with the muscles becoming inflamed? Not sure. The neuro report that came back, had some interesting things in it. Like I have myofascial syndrome in neck and back.. Swelling of the knee joints. The pain in the hip is getting worse. Just hopeing that surgery on lumbar will ease the pain in the hip knees and legs. Crossing my fingers. The neuros main concern right now is the lumbar, but the neck is a concern too. The neck is herniated onto the spinal, but not making a indentation of any sort. The person who read the MRI's and did not read the MRI's right, made the neck problem seem worse than it really is. Having more xrays done soon also, to see if there is loss of disk space?
Have any of you heard of Anklyosing Spondylitis to understand wear in the neck and for the replier look into what this Anklyosing does to your periphial joints. I am finished with a decent life because of this since it is the most severe ever seen thanx Sal "Sunshyne" news:20040614192220.15979.00001119@mb-m16.aol.com... > I forgot to add that I am also doing trigger point injections.

You know SAl,,, that have found that the newest anti-tnf medicines work wonders for people with AS. What do you do for your AS?
