I e had neck injections for years through different Dr’s. I wonder if that could have something to do w/ complete desiccation of C2 -3, 3 -4, 4 - 5…all the way down to T1 & 2?

Steroids over time weaken bone that can lead to destruction, which is why they are limited. Unfortunately you may have developed that leading to your current state. I’ve never had injections and will not if I can help it.
