Thanks. I also found the site. I have chronic left neck pain originating in c7: 5/6. It is arthritis in the faucets. Now nearly a year since onset. Pain has gradually increased and last fall was severe into upper back both front and back. I’ve had 2 rounds of PT, massage therapy, personal trainers. And 3 steroid series with some short term relief. Now am waiting for a rhyzotomy. I’m 82 and still active with walking and hiking, yoga, swimming and teach chair yoga 3 times a week. I am constantly realigning myself to avoid forward slump. Pain is constant but at times can be low level. Generally about a 5.

Oh, I’ve established a morning routine of moist heat for 20 minutes, then a Tens unit for 15 minutes, and a few times a week over the door traction. Then a yoga series designed for upper back and neck.
