I have been disgnosed with cervical "degenerative disc disease" DDD in March of 2006. In December 2006, I decided to have laser surgery at LSI, in Tampa, Florida. Regretfully, the surgery was not successfull and I am in worse condition now then prior to surgery. Last week, I had several shots of the Prolotherapy treatment in the neck, addressing the neck ligaments, but I was told it would take several sessions before I would see a difference (if it works).

I want to know from members reading this who have my similar current symptoms:

1) Do you get constant spasms in the neck area?
2) Do you feel as if there is a vise-grip locked on your neck at all times?
3) Do you have difficulty rotating your neck to either left or right?
4) Do you have a feeling of "cogwheel", twitching and vibrating of the neck muscles when attempting to rotate your head?
5) Do you feel like you're having a hard time keeping your head up as if your head is too heavy?

.......if you share either some or all of the symptoms above, your input would be greatly appreciated, since at times I feel that I am the only person with these symtoms - your input would help me understand my problem better -God bless you.
