New and just learning
Well after 4 years of constant pain in the shoulder abs thoracic area I’ve been told I have sever arthritis in my neck and collapsed discs and some nerves are trapped which may explain my thoracic pain as it’s in my c3/4 abs 5/6 … no idea what to expect or how this can progress … consultants just sent me off with amtripaline and to take pain killers as abs when but still suffering in pain :-( hopefully will learn more self help
