> I just came from the chiropractor and they did xrays of my neck. They found my neck has no curve, but is straight and is starting to curve the opposite way. I guess it is caused by sever blows to the head (like my child abuse) or professional football or dancing and now my neck has arthitics which is what causes my neck to be straight.
((((HappyFlower)))) I haven't posted in forever, but was intrigued when I read this. I, too, went to a chiropractor recently and had xrays of my neck. My xrays showed the same thing... I have no curve... He also said something about arthritis and degeneration, then I kinda freaked out thinking I was too young for this!! He didn't say anything about abuse, but asked if I have ever been in a car accident or anything (which I haven't).
I'm not sure if I'm trying to calm you, or I just got alarmed about myself. I think both! Is it possible that this neck trauma wasn't caused by abuse? I hate to see you beating yourself up over this, but I also wonder if it's something that can just develop (like with posture and whatnot). I thought maybe sharing my similarity might help you. Either way, I know it's scary!
Hang in there!
