mine is c-4-6c-1-2 twist to right having burning-stinging pain every time i move! all day long & wake up after 45min slpeeing in one spot almost complete body parilized numb w/pain, unable to move takes baby moves to get up to walk for 10min then go back to bed!
If i lay on my back pillow under knees & one on ea side i can sleep but get up w/back ache!
They say there is no surgery to repair the disc & not bad enough for any surgery! OK!

I do; it's been several years since I had the xrays done, so I don't remember which ones except to know they hurt like heck if/when I mop the floor.

I have DDD, my pharmacist said she thought everyone probably has it. Since we have fibro we feel the pain more, cause little pains are big pains for us

I have OA in my lower back and RA (no symptoms yet) and FM. I was dx'd at the same time with all 3.

I agree with DDntn's reply. I believe alot of people have this and I was told the same thing by my doctor. We are just more sensitive to the pain. Bulging disks are so common and most people are not even aware they have them. I have this in my neck and it drives me crazy!

    Good morning! I slept!Then I sneezed anbout 27 times in a row. Why? It's pollen season! You don't need allergies in my neighborhood. It's particle irritation of sinuses. Altho' I admit I think I've developed a mild seasonal allergy to *something*. I don't test for any, so maybe it's just that my poor stressed out body can't deal with all this craziness of life and is sneezing it out.Interesting...
