I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. I, too, have degenerative disk disease in my neck and am often in serious pain. For me, at 55, I still have more good days than bad, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared to death when it's at its' worst that, if it should stay that way, my quality of life would be nil. I am reading your posts with interest and empathy for what you're going through and hope you can find some relief, both for yourself and to give me some hope for what lies ahead for me.
