Hey Mark,
Yeah that can be so limiting as well as incredibly painful when the cspine flares up. My acute incident took me a few weeks (3) plus toradol shots every week and being very careful to get over and then a few months to be rid of the weird sort of guarding pain.

Acutely I couldn't even look downwards w/o severe spasm/pain in neck and rotating head left to right wasn't even possible. That was so weird and actually worse than my lumbar spine in terms of limitations.

Good luck with your disco results and whatever you might do. Hope you get yourself taken care of pain and spasm wise and your trip back is easier on you.
