Spine problems

Monday, April 6th, 2009

After a year of on-and-off back pains, I finally decided to get it checked out. I got the x-ray results today.

Cervical spine

Cervical spine

Apparently my cervical spine (neck area) is abnormally straight. There is supposed to be some curvature, and the straightness is consistent with muscle spasms, and typically follows a car accident. I haven’t been in one though, so I don’t know how it got to be like that. I’ll be taking some physical therapy sessions in attempt to fix it and rid myself of the pain.

On second thought, I was reminded that I went go-kart racing back in May, and I was rear-ended really hard once. I remember my head snapping back pretty bad; that could have done it. It wouldn’t explain the pain though, because the pain started before that.
