I can relate to your pain. I have had two surgeries on my cervical spine in the last four years. I cannot lie down and sleep in a recliner most of the time. The latest MRI shows something growing on the first surgery that is pressing on all of the nerves and even with surgery it may not relief the pain. I would strongly suggest you get a second opinion. I have been going to a pain clinic and that helps with the pain. There does not seem to be a pain free answer but if we can have more good days than bad, maybe that is the best we can hope for. I know this is not a solution but accupuncture has helped also meditation and thi chil. best wishes to you and hang in there. Seek the best medical treatment and be gentile with yourself. claire
