I’ve had similar issues with spine .I have degenerative disc disease inherited from family . I started out with back surgery , injections , therapy , spine pain stimulator in my back . And finally got scoliosis and two months ago had to have a full scoliosis surgery every vertebrae from bottom of my neck down to my tailbone is fused with rods and bolts . and now recovering , so don’t mass around with your back get a special surgeon opinion I did , by the way the specialtiy back surgeon is the one that did my surgery took 14 hours. Hope I helped and not scared you . God Bless .
