Hi guys, been diagnosed with Cervical Spondylosis recently & it's definitely turned my world upside down. I've been crying multiple times a day, and I just feel so lost and hopeless. I'm 25 this year, and honestly I'm just so afraid. I can't even do normal things I used to do because of how my neck/back aches. I've been starting to feel muscle weakness within my arms too. I've never heard about this condition up until a few days ago, not to mention I don't even know anyone with the condition. While I try to stay strong and hopeful, sometimes my mood just flunks down the sinkhole.

Everyone on this site is dealing with chronic pain of different sorts, as well as other diagnoses. Any day could be a bad day or a good day. Let's treat everyone with respect and kindness and assume that we are all doing our best but maybe having a bad day. No -isms will be tolerated!

No Hate Speech or Bullying

We want everyone to feel safe here. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or identity will not fly here.

No Unsolicited Advice

If someone posts about their experiences and asks a question or seeks advice, by all means, offer it. But sometimes, we need to vent and commiserate. Please refrain from giving unsolicited advice or telling other members what they should do. Instead, respectfully offer some things that helped you along your journey.

No Promotions or Spam

Our mission is to support our community members by educating, supporting, and empowering them to live their best lives despite their spine issues.
