You may have thought that I had a couple of screws loose....

Well, it turns out you were right. Well sort of anyway. I have been having a lot more pain in my neck lately, and I was worried that I had done something to damage another part of my back by over compensating for my neck. Well that remains to be seen but in my last visit to the doc for a status check and x-ray. The x-ray showed that one of the screws that are holding the plate in my neck to my bones has backed itself out a little. The doctor said I should not worry too much (that is easy for him to say) but it may be a sign that the bones are not fusing as well as we had hoped. He did however see fit to order another M.R.I. this time of my whole spine (not just my neck, as he had done before). So for now I am just having to up the pain meds for a while until it either clears up on its own or till the doc decides to take some other action. Either way there is not much I can do other then continue the stretching and resistance exercises that I have been doing all along. Hopefully this will be the last problem I have to deal with (with my neck anyway) and I can move on.
